This is a condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse logic, producing squarish bowls and smooth, softened corners rather than purely circular forms. Apertures are generally narrow, counters are compact, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving the face a disciplined, modular rhythm. The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey constructions and a compact, uniform texture that holds together well in lines of text.
It suits headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a compact, vertical texture is desirable. The condensed build also works well for navigation, labeling, and packaging where space is tight but legibility must remain steady. It can be effective for editorial pull quotes and interface titles when you want a modern, structured look without sharp, aggressive geometry.
The overall tone is modern, condensed, and slightly retro in a signage-and-posters way. Its tight footprint and rounded-rectangle softness feel efficient and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic. The atmosphere reads confident and urban, with a crisp, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended to pack text into limited horizontal space while keeping letterforms clear and consistent. Squared, softened curves and even stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on a controlled, system-like aesthetic suited to contemporary layout and display needs. The tall proportions and simplified forms aim for quick recognition and a strong typographic presence.
The uppercase is particularly tall and narrow, creating a strong columnar rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a high, compact profile that keeps word shapes uniform. Rounded-rectangle bowls show up clearly in letters like O/C and in numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, system-driven character across the set.
