A tall, tightly set sans with extremely compact letter widths and consistent stroke weight throughout. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic: bowls and counters read as softened superelliptical forms rather than true circles, giving O/0 and similar shapes a squarish, controlled roundness. Terminals are clean and unbracketed, with rounded joins that keep the texture smooth at display sizes. The rhythm is vertical and architectural, with narrow apertures and straightforward, largely closed constructions that maintain an even, high-contrast silhouette against the white space created by the condensed proportions.
This style suits headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks where height and density are advantages and a sleek, engineered voice is desired. It can also work for short UI labels or signage, especially when space is constrained and a clean, uniform texture is needed.
The overall tone feels modern and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor driven by the tall proportions and rounded-rect geometry. It reads cool, precise, and efficient—more like signage or interface labeling than expressive editorial typography.
The design appears intended to maximize economy of horizontal space while keeping forms friendly through rounded-rectangle curves and uniform stroke behavior. It aims for a contemporary, system-like clarity with a distinctive condensed silhouette that remains consistent across letters and figures.
Numerals follow the same tall, compact logic as the letters, producing a disciplined, space-saving number line. In text, the consistent stroke and narrow widths create a strong columnar texture, and the rounded corners prevent the condensed forms from feeling brittle.
