A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. The forms are built from straight-sided stems and rounded-rectangle curves, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical character rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation. Proportions stay tight throughout, with narrow apertures and a rhythmic, columnar texture that reads clearly in dense settings.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography where space is limited and impact is needed, such as posters, campaign graphics, and strong brand lockups. The sturdy, compact shapes also fit packaging and signage applications that benefit from a tall, tightly set, highly legible sans.
The overall tone feels modern and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its condensed stance and squared-round curves suggest efficiency and control, lending a confident, editorial presence without becoming decorative.
The design intention appears focused on delivering a space-efficient, high-impact sans that maintains clarity at large sizes while offering a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry. It aims for a modern, pragmatic look that supports dense typographic composition and assertive messaging.
Curves resolve into softly squared corners, especially in letters with bowls and rounds, which creates a distinctive ‘rounded-rectangle’ personality. Spacing appears designed for tight composition, producing a firm, even color in paragraphs and strong impact in headlines.
