A tall, tightly condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, producing squarish bowls in letters like O, C, and D, with softly rounded corners rather than circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, counters are compact, and joins stay straightforward, giving the face a sturdy, engineered look. The lowercase is simple and legible with compact apertures, while numerals follow the same narrow, monoline construction for a consistent, columnar texture in text.
Well-suited for space-saving headlines, poster typography, and bold display lines where vertical punch and compact width are advantages. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a clean, engineered aesthetic and consistent numeric styling.
The overall tone feels direct and no-nonsense, like signage and equipment labeling—functional, compressed, and confident. Its narrow proportions and squared-round shapes add a slightly industrial, contemporary flavor, reading as modern and pragmatic rather than friendly or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a compressed structure with softened superellipse curves for a contemporary, industrial-leaning voice. It prioritizes a steady typographic color and straightforward letterforms that reproduce clearly in bold, high-impact settings.
The condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis and dense word shapes, which can increase impact in headlines while reducing whitespace. Rounded corners keep the rigid geometry from feeling overly harsh, and the uniform stroke treatment maintains an even color across lines of text.
