A condensed display sans with elongated vertical proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls. Strokes read largely monolinear, with softened corners and squared terminals that keep edges crisp while avoiding sharpness. Counters are tall and narrow, and curves resolve into pill-like arcs rather than perfect circles, giving O/C/G and the numerals a streamlined, engineered feel. Spacing and rhythm are tight and vertical, producing a uniform, columnar texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display typography where height and compact width are advantages—posters, headlines, wordmarks, packaging fronts, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short UI labels or titles when a condensed, architectural voice is desired, but is less appropriate for long-form text due to its tight, vertical texture.
The overall tone is sleek and metropolitan, leaning toward vintage signage and Art Deco-era modernism. Its narrow, high-waisted forms feel efficient and purposeful, with a cool, industrial confidence that suits stylized branding and headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver a streamlined, space-saving display voice with a retro-modern, sign-painterly clarity. By combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle geometry and firm terminals, it aims for a distinctive, constructed look that remains clean and readable at headline sizes.
The design favors vertical stems and compressed apertures, which creates strong word-shape silhouettes but can reduce differentiation in dense settings. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic and match the typeface’s signage-like cadence.
