A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded corners that give the forms a rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) feel. The design favors straight-sided bowls and narrow apertures, creating a tight vertical rhythm and high legibility at display sizes. Curves are minimized and squared-off where possible, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation across the set. Figures follow the same narrow, blocky construction, reading clean and uniform alongside the letters.
This style works especially well for headlines, posters, and branding moments that need a strong, space-saving voice. It also suits signage, labels, packaging, and UI or dashboard elements where a condensed, structured texture helps information stack efficiently. Use at medium-to-large sizes to showcase the crisp geometry and maintain comfortable interior space.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that feels confident and slightly retro. Its compressed proportions and squared curves suggest signage and labeling aesthetics—direct, efficient, and attention-grabbing without ornament.
The likely intention is a contemporary condensed workhorse that nods to industrial grotesks while modernizing them with rounded-rectangle geometry. It appears designed to maximize impact and economy of space, offering a consistent, engineered look across letters and figures.
Counters and joints stay generous enough to keep characters distinct despite the compressed width, while the rounded terminals prevent the texture from feeling harsh. The alphabet shows a consistent preference for verticality and compact spacing, producing a dense, poster-friendly color.
