A highly condensed sans with a monoline, low-contrast build and strongly vertical proportions. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, producing softened corners on bowls and terminals while keeping a crisp, engineered outline. Counters are narrow and apertures are tight, creating a compact texture and a steady, column-like rhythm in text. Capitals and figures share a tall, uniform stance, and the lowercase maintains similarly narrow widths with simple, straightforward construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding lockups, and signage where vertical emphasis and strong economy of space are desirable. It can work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when set with generous tracking and sufficient size to keep the tight counters legible.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a clean, contemporary voice that feels slightly retro in its tall, compressed silhouette. Its tight spacing and upright posture convey urgency and impact, suggesting signage, headlines, and graphic statements rather than relaxed reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing an industrial condensed structure with softened superelliptical rounding for a modern, approachable edge. Its consistent stroke weight and disciplined geometry emphasize clarity, uniformity, and graphic punch.
Round letters like O/Q read as tall capsules, and the dot on i/j is compact and circular. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, staying clear and consistent at display sizes, while the narrow apertures can close up as sizes get smaller.
