A tightly condensed display face built from tall, rectangular forms and compressed counters, mixing solid strokes with hairline connectors. Many letters show collapsed or slit-like interior spaces, with occasional inline-style gaps and narrow apertures that create a stark black-and-white rhythm. Terminals are generally squared with small notches and subtle protrusions, and the overall construction feels modular and vertical, producing a strongly columnar texture in words. Width varies by glyph, but the set maintains a consistent, elongated silhouette and a pronounced contrast between heavy stems and very thin linking strokes.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as posters, headlines, titles, and branding marks where its tall, condensed rhythm can read as a graphic pattern. It can work well on packaging or album covers that want an industrial or retro-futurist tone. For longer passages or small sizes, it benefits from generous size and careful tracking to preserve letter differentiation.
The font projects a hard, industrial attitude with a retro, poster-era sensibility. Its narrow, towering shapes and clipped counters feel assertive and slightly abrasive, giving headlines an edgy, experimental character. The alternation between dense blacks and hairline details adds a dramatic, almost mechanical tension.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in a narrow footprint, using collapsed counters and hairline joins to create an unusual, high-drama texture. Its irregular, modular details suggest a deliberate push toward novelty and visual punch rather than conventional readability.
In running text the tight spacing and compressed apertures can cause letters to visually fuse, especially where hairline joins meet heavy stems. The distinctive slit counters and occasional open notches become key recognition features, making the typeface more about shape and texture than small-size clarity.
