A tall, condensed sans with softened, superellipse-like curves and largely uniform stroke weight. The shapes are built from narrow verticals and compact bowls, with rounded terminals and corners that prevent the forms from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be controlled, creating a dense rhythm that remains clean and orderly across lines of text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, packaging, and editorial display where vertical economy and a compact texture are useful. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and wayfinding-style applications when space is tight and a clear, consistent rhythm is needed.
This typeface feels condensed, efficient, and slightly retro, with a pragmatic tone that reads as straightforward rather than ornamental. Its tall proportions and rounded corners add a friendly, approachable note while keeping an overall utilitarian attitude.
The design appears intended to maximize information density while preserving legibility, using condensed proportions and simplified, consistent construction. Rounded, squared-off curves suggest a desire for a modern, industrial neatness without becoming cold or aggressive.
The overall color is even and disciplined, with a strong vertical emphasis and a distinctly narrow footprint. The numeral set follows the same condensed logic, supporting tight layouts where figures need to align visually with text.
