A tall, condensed display sans built from rectilinear strokes and squared counters, with a strong emphasis on verticals and crisp right angles. Curves are minimized and often resolved as softened corners or segmented arcs, giving the alphabet a mechanical, constructed feel. Many letters feature split strokes or inline-like apertures (notably in forms such as A, B, and several lowercase characters), creating pronounced internal negative space and a high-contrast rhythm between thick stems and lighter connecting elements. Proportions are compact and columnar, with short crossbars and tight bowls that keep the overall texture dense and vertical.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its narrow, architectural forms can read as a deliberate style choice. It works well for logos, branding systems, posters, and signage that benefit from a technical or Deco-inspired voice. For extended paragraphs, it is more effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is sleek and engineered, evoking signage, machinery labels, and early-modern decorative geometry. Its sharp corners and narrow stance read as assertive and stylized, with a slightly retro-futurist, Art Deco-leaning attitude. The overall impression is precise and graphic rather than conversational.
The design appears intended as a characterful, constructed sans that prioritizes vertical economy and a strong graphic silhouette. By reducing curves and emphasizing rectilinear geometry with occasional inline-like breaks, it aims to deliver a futuristic/industrial mood and a memorable, stylized texture for display typography.
The design relies on distinctive, sometimes idiosyncratic constructions in both cases—several uppercase forms are highly stylized, while the lowercase keeps a similarly narrow, modular logic. The sample text shows clear word shapes at large sizes, but the tight interior spaces and condensed proportions create a demanding reading texture at smaller sizes.
