A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and minimal contrast. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical, squared-off roundness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with restrained shaping on joins; the overall rhythm is compact, with tight apertures and small internal counters that read as sturdy, vertical silhouettes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow, monoline construction, keeping spacing and proportions consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for UI labels or section headers when a compact, high-contrast-in-size presence is desired, especially with careful spacing.
The font conveys a strong, no-nonsense tone—bold, compressed, and utilitarian. Its squared-round curves add a contemporary, industrial flavor that feels engineered and controlled rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compressed footprint while maintaining a clean, modern sans structure. Its superelliptical rounding suggests an aim for an engineered, contemporary feel that stays disciplined and legible at display sizes.
In running text, the narrow width and dense counters create a dark, continuous texture that favors short bursts over long passages. The design’s vertical emphasis and tight spacing make it especially impactful when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
