A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes remain largely uniform, producing a steady vertical rhythm, while curves are drawn with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry that keeps bowls and terminals smooth and controlled. The lowercase shows single-storey forms in places and simplified construction overall, with a crisp, economical texture that stays readable in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where vertical emphasis and tight measure are useful—posters, packaging, labels, and signage. It can also work for editorial subheads or pull quotes when you want a compact, high-impact line without decorative detail.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary: efficient, straightforward, and slightly industrial. Its narrow stance and even stroke color give it a no-nonsense voice that feels suited to space-conscious, information-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed skeleton with controlled, rounded-rectilinear curves for a clean, contemporary texture.
Round letters such as O/C/G and the bowls in b/d/p/q lean toward squarish curves rather than fully circular forms, reinforcing a structured, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same compact, tall logic and remain visually consistent with the uppercase in weight and rhythm.
