A tall, tightly set sans with a distinctly squared, superelliptical skeleton: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles, giving counters a boxy, engineered feel. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thin horizontals and heavier verticals that read crisply in the sample text. Terminals are mostly straight and sharply cut, while corners are subtly softened, creating a controlled mix of hard edges and rounded geometry. Proportions lean condensed, with compact apertures and short crossbars, producing an efficient, upright rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where a condensed, high-contrast sans can project a precise, engineered personality. It should also work well for packaging and signage that benefits from a strong vertical rhythm and compact letterfit, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and utilitarian—clean, disciplined, and slightly austere. Its condensed stance and squared-round construction suggest a technical, industrial voice that can also come across as confident and commanding in display settings.
The design appears intended to merge a contemporary condensed sans structure with superelliptical rounding, delivering a controlled, technical aesthetic. By combining sharp terminals with softened corners and strong vertical emphasis, it aims for a distinctive display voice that remains clean and systematic.
The font’s narrow apertures and high-contrast joins create strong vertical emphasis, especially in letters like E, F, H, N, and U, while rounded-rectangular bowls in forms like O, D, and 0 keep the texture consistent. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, helping headings and UI-like labeling feel cohesive.
