A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded, superellipse-like turns. Curves and counters feel squarish rather than circular, giving letters like C, O, and G a rounded-rectangle geometry. Terminals are clean and unbracketed, and verticals dominate the rhythm, producing a crisp, compact texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with simple, legible forms.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed: headlines, poster typography, packaging panels, and wayfinding or product labeling. It can also work for compact wordmarks and short UI labels where a narrow footprint is beneficial.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a slightly retro, engineered flavor. Its compressed proportions and squared curves evoke signage and industrial labeling, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum vertical presence in a minimal horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to balance a technical, condensed structure with friendly curvature. It prioritizes bold readability and a strong typographic silhouette for attention-driven layouts.
The face maintains consistent stroke weight and tight internal spacing for its width, which makes it read as a strong, unified block in headlines. The superellipse construction is especially noticeable in rounded letters and in the way shoulders and bowls transition smoothly into straight stems.
