A tall, tightly condensed display sans with a distinctly rectilinear skeleton softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes read largely monolinear with subtly tapered joins and terminals, creating a clean but slightly stylized rhythm. Counters are narrow and often vertically oriented; bowls and arches are built from straight stems and smooth superelliptical turns rather than circular geometry. The design emphasizes strong verticality, compact spacing, and crisp internal cut-ins, producing sturdy silhouettes that stay coherent at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but presence is needed—headlines, posters, product packaging, and sign systems. The condensed build helps fit long words into tight widths, while the firm vertical rhythm makes it effective for branding marks and wordmarks at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and architectural—confident, efficient, and engineered. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a retro-modern flavor reminiscent of mid‑century signage while still reading contemporary and minimal. The condensed proportions project urgency and focus, making the type feel assertive and headline-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual density and clarity through a condensed, rounded-rect construction—balancing hard, architectural structure with softened corners. It aims for a bold, sign-painting-adjacent display voice that remains clean and systematic for contemporary graphic use.
Uppercase forms are especially uniform and columnar, while lowercase introduces a bit more modulation through tight apertures and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow construction, keeping a consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric settings. The overall texture is dark and even, with clear, sturdy shapes that favor impact over airy readability.
