A condensed, monoline sans with a strongly constructed, angular skeleton and predominantly straight-sided curves. Bowls and counters tend toward squarish or trapezoidal forms, with sharp corners and occasional clipped terminals that create a chiseled, stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. Vertical strokes are dominant and uniform in weight, while diagonals are narrow and crisp, giving the alphabet a tall, compact texture. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry, with simplified, rectilinear joins and minimal curvature, producing a consistent, tightly packed word shape.
Well-suited for display applications such as posters, titles, branding marks, and packaging where a compact, high-impact line can carry a strong geometric personality. It can also work for short labels or signage-style text, especially when set with additional letterspacing to improve clarity in smaller sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, evoking industrial labeling, retro-futurist display graphics, and engineered signage. Its sharp geometry and compressed proportions create a disciplined, slightly severe voice that reads as technical and stylized rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice by translating sans-serif letterforms into rigid, squared geometry with chiseled terminals. Its consistent stroke weight and engineered shapes prioritize graphic presence and a cohesive, constructed texture across letters and numerals.
The numerals and capitals share the same squared construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. In text samples the tight internal spaces and pointed details increase visual energy, suggesting best results with generous tracking or at larger sizes where the angular counters can open up.
