A compact, narrow slab-serif design built from straight strokes and squared geometry. The forms are predominantly rectilinear with chamfered corners and flat, block-like serifs that read as integral extensions of the stems. Curves are minimized and when present are flattened into squared bowls and corners, creating a consistent, engineered rhythm. The lowercase keeps simple, sturdy constructions with single-storey a and g, a squared i dot, and a compact, bracketless feel overall; numerals follow the same boxy logic with crisp right angles and even stroke emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, labels, and branding where a compact, industrial look is desired. It can also work for short blocks of copy in interfaces or editorial sidebars when you want a technical, squared texture, but it will be most distinctive and legible when given room at display sizes.
The overall tone is mechanical and no-nonsense, with a retro tech and display flavor reminiscent of stenciled signage, arcade-era graphics, or industrial labeling. Its squared detailing and firm serifs give it a confident, workmanlike voice that feels practical rather than decorative.
Likely drawn to deliver a condensed, space-efficient slab-serif voice with a strongly squared construction, optimizing for strong silhouettes and a mechanical, engineered character. The consistent boxy details suggest an aim toward clear, repeatable forms that feel at home in functional display typography.
The texture stays uniform and high-contrast against the page due to the consistent stroke presence and tightly spaced, narrow proportions. Angular joins and square counters create strong silhouette clarity at larger sizes, while the more intricate corners and notches become a defining stylistic feature in text settings.
