A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are simplified into superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving letters a compact, engineered feel rather than a purely geometric circle-based one. Terminals tend to be clean and flat, with occasional slight softness from rounding; joins stay crisp and the overall rhythm is consistent and vertical. Numerals follow the same narrow, columnar proportions with clear, straightforward shapes.
Best suited for headlines, captions, and space-constrained settings such as posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding, where a condensed voice is needed without sacrificing legibility. It can also work for short blocks of text or UI-style microcopy when a compact, technical tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, signage, and condensed editorial titling. Its compressed build and rounded-rect geometry add a modern, technical character while staying approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum economy of width with a clear, consistent sans structure, using rounded-rectangle forms to create a distinctive silhouette and sturdy readability. It prioritizes compactness and uniform stroke behavior for practical display and labeling contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase share a coherent skeletal logic, with tall ascenders and compact bowls that help maintain clarity in tight widths. The texture in running text reads as a dense vertical stripe pattern, making it especially effective when space is limited and a strong typographic color is desired.
