A sharply condensed, rectilinear sans with monoline strokes and a strongly vertical stance. Letterforms are built from straight segments and tight right-angle turns, producing narrow apertures and compact, boxy counters. Curves are minimized in favor of squared bowls and pointed joins, giving the alphabet a modular, constructed feel. Spacing and proportions emphasize height and tight width, creating an even, rhythmic texture in lines of text with distinctive, stencil-like internal gaps in some glyphs.
Best used where a tall, condensed voice is helpful—posters, headlines, signage, labels, and identity work that benefits from a rigid, architectural texture. It can also work for short UI titles or navigation labels when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is industrial and mechanical, with a retro-futurist flavor that reads as engineered rather than handwritten. Its rigid geometry and compressed proportions create a confident, graphic presence that feels suited to utilitarian or techno-leaning aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking condensed display sans built from simplified, rectilinear components, prioritizing graphic impact and a constructed, machine-made character over conventional text readability.
Distinctive closed forms and very narrow openings can reduce legibility at smaller sizes, especially in dense text, but they also contribute to a strong, recognizable word shape in headlines. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, tightly constructed structure, reinforcing a consistent, systemized look.
