A condensed, all-caps–friendly display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners. Curves are largely replaced by planar facets, creating polygonal counters and sharp inner notches, while stroke weight stays consistent throughout. Proportions are tall with tight apertures and compact spacing, producing a dense, vertical rhythm. Numerals and lowercase follow the same geometric logic, with squared terminals and minimal stroke modulation for a uniform, cut-metal look.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding where a compact, high-impact wordshape is needed. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, engineered voice, particularly in short phrases or all-caps compositions.
The overall tone feels industrial and assertive, with a gothic-meets-machine aesthetic that reads as tough and engineered. Its sharp facets and compressed stance give it a poster-like urgency and a slightly retro, signage-oriented presence.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of carved or cut lettering into a modern, modular sans, prioritizing bold presence and a distinctive angular texture over softness or neutrality.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, which helps maintain coherence in mixed-case settings. The narrow interior spaces and angular joins make it most effective when allowed adequate size and breathing room, especially in longer lines.
