A compact, condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and strongly rounded terminals. The shapes lean on vertical stems and tight internal counters, with rounded-rectangle/superelliptic curves that keep bowls and apertures smooth and controlled. Overall proportions are tall and space-efficient, producing a dense, dark typographic color with minimal stroke modulation and crisp, simplified joins.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short signage copy where a tall, condensed silhouette is useful and impact is the priority. It can work for short subheads or labels when spaced carefully, but is less comfortable for long reading passages due to its dense texture.
The tone is assertive and streamlined, reading as modern, industrial, and attention-grabbing. Its compressed geometry and soft-rounded corners balance severity with approachability, giving it a contemporary display feel rather than a neutral text voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent monoline structure and rounded-rect geometry to create a distinctive, contemporary condensed voice.
In continuous lines of text the narrow set and heavy color create a strong rhythm and can quickly dominate a layout; it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing to keep counters from closing up. The rounded terminals and superelliptic bowls help maintain legibility at larger sizes where the geometric character is most visible.
