A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a narrow footprint. Strokes stay even and clean, with terminals and joins that resolve into softly rounded, squared-off corners rather than circular bowls. Curves read as rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters a boxy, superelliptical feel (notably in letters like O, D, and B), while diagonals in A, V, W, and Y remain straight and sharp. The overall rhythm is vertical and disciplined, with consistent stroke modulation and clear, simplified construction across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for headlines, posters, and space-constrained settings where a narrow measure is useful, such as signage, wayfinding, packaging panels, and labels. It also suits UI and dashboard-style typography when a compact, technical texture is desired, especially in short text and mixed letter-number strings.
The tone is functional and contemporary, leaning industrial and technical rather than friendly or decorative. Its compressed, high-rise silhouette suggests signage and labeling—efficient, space-saving, and matter-of-fact.
Likely designed to deliver a compact sans optimized for high-density layouts while maintaining clarity through simplified, monoline construction and rounded-rectangular shaping. The consistent geometry and restrained detailing prioritize a clean, modern voice and predictable alignment in structured compositions.
Distinctive details include the rounded, squared bowls and the compact, column-like stems, which create a strong grid-like texture in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, uniform-stroke logic, supporting a cohesive typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
