A condensed sans built from tall, rounded-rectangle counters and uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared-off terminals and softly radiused corners, giving round letters a superelliptical, column-like structure rather than fully circular bowls. The rhythm is narrow and vertical, with open apertures and generous internal spacing for the width, producing a crisp, airy texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same modular geometry, emphasizing straight stems, flattened curves, and consistent corner radii.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where its condensed verticality and geometric personality can lead the composition. It can also work for signage and packaging that benefit from a clean, technical look, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The overall tone feels retro-futuristic and engineered, reminiscent of Art Deco sign lettering filtered through a modern, minimalist grid. Its narrow, upright stance reads precise and disciplined, lending a sleek, technical character without becoming aggressive or heavy.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, space-saving sans with a consistent rounded-rectilinear construction, prioritizing a distinctive modular silhouette and a polished, contemporary-retro voice for display typography.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle construction shows up across bowls and counters, creating a cohesive, systemized feel. The type’s tall proportions and narrow set make spacing and line breaks feel compact while preserving clarity through clean joins and open forms.
