This typeface is a tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and subtly rounded corners that give the outlines a softened, superellipse-like feel. Curves are built from squared-off rounds rather than perfect circles, producing compact counters and a consistently narrow rhythm. Stems are straight and steady, with minimal modulation, and joins stay clean and pragmatic. Overall spacing feels tight and economical, emphasizing verticality and efficient word shapes.
It performs best in headlines, posters, and branding moments that benefit from a compact, vertical presence. The condensed proportions make it useful for signage, labels, and packaging where horizontal space is limited, while the steady stroke and restrained detailing keep longer lines readable at display-to-text crossover sizes.
The font reads as utilitarian and industrial, with a slightly retro, signage-inspired flavor. Its narrow, upright stance and squared-round geometry convey discipline and efficiency, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh. The tone is direct and functional, suited to matter-of-fact messaging where space is at a premium.
The design appears intended to provide an efficient condensed sans with a distinctive squared-round construction—delivering strong, space-saving word shapes while maintaining a friendly, softened edge through rounded corners and consistent stroke weight.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals lean toward rounded-rectangle construction, creating a distinctive ‘compressed capsule’ silhouette. Diacritics and punctuation shown (e.g., the tittle on i/j) are simple and sturdy, reinforcing the straightforward texture in continuous text.
