A condensed sans with tall proportions and monoline strokes, built from squared-off, superelliptic curves and rounded-rectangle counters. Curved letters like C, O, and G read as narrow, softened rectangles rather than circles, while terminals are largely straight-cut with gently rounded corners. The uppercase is compact and sturdy, the lowercase keeps a small-to-moderate x-height with narrow bowls and short arms, and spacing is tight, producing a dense vertical rhythm. Figures are similarly narrow and blocky, with simple, high-impact forms suited to set solid, even texture.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and compact editorial titling where space is tight but impact is needed. It also fits signage, labels, packaging, and UI/overlay callouts that benefit from tall, condensed letterforms with robust shapes.
The overall tone is functional and assertive, with a contemporary, industrial feel. Its compressed silhouettes and squared curves evoke signage and engineered graphics, giving text a confident, no-nonsense voice.
The type appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while keeping forms simple, consistent, and highly repeatable. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention toward a modern, system-like aesthetic that stays legible and bold in display contexts.
The design leans on consistent corner radii and rectangular counters, creating a clear family resemblance across letters and numerals. The condensed width increases perceived weight and color, so it reads best when given adequate tracking and line spacing in longer settings.
