A condensed, all-caps–friendly display sans with chamfered corners and faceted construction that replaces curves with short angled segments. Strokes are consistently heavy with only slight modulation, and terminals are cleanly cut rather than rounded. Counters skew toward rectangular and octagonal shapes (notably in O, D, and 0), while characters like S and C show crisp angular breaks that keep the rhythm tight. Lowercase follows the same geometric logic with compact bowls and a sturdy, vertical emphasis, producing a dense, uniform texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where a compact, high-impact word shape is useful. It works well for posters, product packaging, labels, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage, and it can add a technical or industrial accent to logos and titling.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of stenciled signage, equipment markings, and scoreboard numerals. Its sharp facets and compact proportions give it an assertive, engineered character that reads as utilitarian and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, space-efficient display voice by combining condensed proportions with chamfered, faceted forms. The consistent angular cuts suggest a goal of evoking mechanical precision while maintaining strong legibility in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, creating a coherent “cut metal” silhouette. Numerals are similarly squared and sturdy, supporting an at-a-glance, label-like presence. In longer lines, the narrow set and strong verticals create a dark, rhythmic color that favors display sizes over extended small text.
