A condensed, rectilinear sans with monoline strokes and sharply squared terminals. Letterforms are built from straight verticals and horizontals with minimal curvature, creating narrow counters and a rigid, columnar rhythm. Corners are crisp and geometric, with occasional chamfered or notched joins (notably in diagonals and pointed bottoms on letters like V/W), giving the set a cut, mechanical feel. Numerals and caps echo the same tall, slab-like proportions, and overall spacing reads compact and tightly structured in text.
Best suited to display use where its tall, rigid forms can act as a graphic element—headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging labels, and signage. It can also work for UI badges or section headers when a compressed, high-impact voice is needed, though the narrow counters suggest keeping sizes comfortably large for clarity.
The font conveys a stern, architectural tone with a hint of gothic signage and industrial labeling. Its tight, upright presence feels authoritative and utilitarian, leaning toward retro poster and masthead energy rather than conversational body-text warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using squared geometry and minimal modulation to create a strong, engineered texture. It prioritizes a distinctive, sign-like personality and vertical rhythm over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Curves are simplified into squared or segmented shapes, so round letters read more like squared arches than circles. The design maintains a consistent vertical emphasis across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong, uniform texture in headlines and short lines.
