A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rectilinear construction. Curves are handled as rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circular geometry. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, with generous internal whitespace in narrow letterforms.
Best suited to display settings where horizontal space is limited—headlines, posters, spines, labels, and wayfinding or product signage. It can also work for short UI labels and data callouts where a compact, high-impact condensed style is desirable, but long-form text may feel dense due to the narrow proportions.
The tone feels disciplined and architectural, with a subtle retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, instrument labeling, and streamlined modernist display typography. Its narrow, towering proportions create a sense of urgency and efficiency while staying calm and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal width, using rounded-rectangular geometry to create a distinctive, engineered look that stays clean and legible at display sizes.
Distinctive squared bowls and narrow apertures keep forms compact; several glyphs read as built from straight stems plus softly rounded corners. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same tall, compressed stance, helping mixed-case settings look consistent and orderly.
