A condensed sans with a monoline stroke and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves are expressed as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off softness rather than fully circular geometry. Counters are compact and tightly controlled, with a consistent rhythm and minimal modulation; joins and terminals appear clean and engineered. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, keeping word shapes dense and columnar, while the numerals match the same narrow, upright construction for a uniform texture.
Best suited to headlines and short lines where narrow width helps fit more characters without shrinking size. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks that want a compact, architectural look and a consistent, high-impact texture. In longer passages it will read as dense and attention-forward, making it more appropriate for display than extended body copy.
The overall tone feels modern, efficient, and slightly retro-industrial, like signage or display lettering refined into a systematic typeface. Its compressed proportions and squared-round curves create a confident, no-nonsense voice with a hint of Art Deco/poster heritage.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving, high-impact condensed voice with a systematic, rounded-rectilinear geometry. The intent appears to balance clarity and strict structure with softened corners for a contemporary, approachable finish.
The condensed width creates strong vertical stripes in text, especially in sequences with many straight stems. Rounded-corner rectangularity is especially apparent in bowls and in the way curved letters transition into stems, producing a crisp, structured silhouette that remains friendly rather than sharp.
