A tall, tightly packed sans with an extremely narrow set and a clean monoline stroke. Curves are largely constructed from rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and apertures a squarish, superelliptic feel rather than circular. Terminals are crisp and mostly flat, with corners kept subtly rounded for consistency. Counters are small and vertical, and the overall rhythm is columnar, with repeated straight stems and compact joins that emphasize height over width.
Best suited to headlines and short text where the narrow width helps fit long words into tight layouts. It works well for signage, packaging, and identity marks that benefit from a compact, vertical presence and a precise geometric voice. Larger point sizes will showcase the squared-round curves and consistent stroke behavior most clearly.
The font projects a technical, architectural tone with a hint of retro display styling. Its rigid verticality and rounded-rectangle geometry feel systematic and engineered, while the compressed proportions add a sleek, space-saving intensity.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, space-efficient display sans with a consistent geometric system based on rounded-rectangle shapes. Its proportions and restrained detailing suggest an intention to create a modernist, engineered look that remains distinctive in titles and branding.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly narrow footprint, producing a unified, stacked texture in text. Numerals follow the same elongated, rectilinear logic, reading like slim signage figures. At smaller sizes the tight internal space can make dense passages feel dark and busy, while larger settings highlight the distinctive superelliptic structure.
