A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners that replace curves with crisp facets. Terminals and joins are consistently chamfered, producing octagonal silhouettes in rounded letters like C, O, and Q. Strokes stay visually even with minimal contrast, while counters are compact and squared-off, creating a tight, high-impact texture in text. Overall proportions are tall and narrow, with relatively short extenders and a compact lowercase that visually aligns closely with the capitals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where the faceted shapes can read clearly and contribute character. It also fits branding, labels, and signage applications that benefit from a condensed footprint and an industrial, geometric voice. Short text elements like logos, packaging callouts, and uniform-style graphics are especially well matched.
The faceted geometry gives a hard-edged, engineered tone that reads confident and utilitarian. Its condensed rhythm and blunt forms evoke signage, uniforms, and retro industrial labeling—direct, no-nonsense, and built for impact rather than softness.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, chamfered construction into a compact sans that stays legible while projecting a strong, technical attitude. By standardizing the corner facets and keeping strokes even, it aims for a consistent, punchy texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies on consistent corner cuts to establish personality, so it maintains a strong pattern across letters and numerals. In longer lines the dense spacing and tight apertures can feel compact, which amplifies the bold, poster-like presence at larger sizes.
