A condensed, monoline sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with small planar facets that create an octagonal silhouette. Terminals are square and abrupt, counters are compact, and rounded letters like O/C/G show consistent chamfering rather than true arcs. Lowercase forms keep a simple, single-storey construction with minimal modulation, producing a tight, even texture and a distinctly mechanical rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact word shape is desired. It also fits signage, labels, packaging, and interface or product graphics that benefit from an engineered, angular look, especially when set larger to preserve interior clarity.
The faceted geometry gives the typeface a rugged, industrial tone with a retro technical edge. Its compact proportions and hard corners feel purposeful and engineered, suggesting speed, equipment labeling, and utilitarian signage rather than softness or refinement.
The letterforms appear designed to translate geometric, faceted construction into a practical condensed sans, prioritizing uniform stroke weight and repeatable corner logic. The goal seems to be a distinctive display voice that still behaves predictably in words and numbers, echoing industrial marking and technical typography.
The design maintains strong consistency in corner treatments across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps it hold together in both grid samples and running text. Narrow apertures and compressed counters increase density, so the face reads most confidently at medium-to-large sizes or with generous tracking when used in longer lines.
