A tall, tightly proportioned sans with compact, monoline strokes and a strongly vertical stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared bowls and softened corners rather than true circular rounds. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional short overhangs and inset joins that add a machined, constructed feel. The overall rhythm is dense and even, designed to stay legible and consistent at display sizes while maintaining an efficient footprint.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where verticality and compact width are advantages. It also works well for signage, packaging, and labels that need a strong, space-efficient voice, and for tech-leaning interfaces or UI accents when used at larger sizes.
The tone is industrial and contemporary, with a disciplined, engineered character that reads as practical and no-nonsense. Its condensed silhouette and squared rounding give it a mildly futuristic, signage-like presence without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to keep forms sturdy, uniform, and highly repeatable. The constructed details suggest an aim toward modern industrial clarity and a consistent, system-like typographic texture.
Several forms emphasize straight-sided counters and narrow apertures, reinforcing the font’s compressed texture. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, keeping a uniform color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
