A tall, tightly compressed sans with a strong vertical rhythm and squared, planar construction. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with crisp, hard terminals, and many counters are narrow and rectangular, reinforcing a machined, architectural feel. Curved forms are simplified into angular facets—seen in letters like C, G, O, S, and the numerals—creating a consistent, chiseled geometry. Proportions are notably tall, with short crossbars and compact bowls; the lowercase follows the same condensed structure with a restrained, utilitarian punctuation and simple dot forms.
Best suited for display settings where impact and vertical economy matter: headlines, posters, signage, labels, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a compact, engineered voice is desired, but its dense forms are most comfortable at larger sizes.
The font conveys a forceful, industrial tone with a hint of retro display lettering. Its compressed stance and sharp facets feel engineered and assertive, suggesting signage, labeling, and bold headlines rather than soft or conversational text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a coherent, faceted geometry across rounds and diagonals. Its construction suggests a deliberate blend of industrial clarity and stylized, planar shaping for high-contrast display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and columnar, producing a uniform texture in words and a strong “poster” presence. Distinguishability leans on silhouette and internal cut geometry: rounded characters become squared capsules, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y, Z) read as clean, steep strokes that maintain the same rigid construction.
