A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a tight overall footprint. Strokes are consistently weighted with squared terminals softened by rounded corners, giving counters and bowls a rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) feel rather than purely circular geometry. Curves are controlled and verticals dominate, with compact apertures and narrow internal spaces that keep the texture even. Numerals and lowercase follow the same restrained construction, producing a crisp, orderly rhythm in text and a strong, stacked presence in headings.
Best suited to display applications where a compact width is valuable—posters, headlines, packaging, signage, and brand wordmarks that need a tall, streamlined look. It can also work for short UI labels and navigation text when spacing is managed to preserve readability at smaller sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered—clean, efficient, and slightly retro in the way it echoes mid‑century signage and display titling. Its narrow, upright stance reads disciplined and urban, with a cool, technical confidence rather than a friendly or organic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, contemporary sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry. By keeping stroke weight uniform and shapes tightly controlled, it aims for a consistent, high-contrast silhouette in large sizes while maintaining a stable, utilitarian texture in short text.
Rounded corners on otherwise rectilinear forms create a distinctive ‘soft-rectangle’ motif that repeats across letters and figures, helping the design feel cohesive at display sizes. The condensed width increases visual density, so generous tracking can help maintain clarity in longer lines.
