A tall, tightly condensed sans with largely monoline strokes and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and blunt with softened corners, and many letters lean on straight stems with minimal modulation. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be fairly closed, producing an efficient, space-saving texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where vertical emphasis and compact width are advantages, such as headlines, posters, product packaging, labels, and wayfinding. Its narrow footprint also makes it useful for tight horizontal spaces, like sidebars, UI headings, and data or identifier readouts when sized appropriately.
The overall tone is functional and industrial, with a subtle retro signage flavor created by the narrow proportions and rounded-rect geometry. It reads as disciplined and engineered rather than friendly, projecting clarity, restraint, and a slightly mechanical confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, space-efficient sans with a distinctive rounded-rect skeleton—combining a strong vertical presence with softened corners for a controlled, display-forward voice. The consistent stroke behavior and compact counters suggest an emphasis on graphic uniformity and punchy readability at larger sizes.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle construction is most noticeable in bowls and in characters like O/0 and D, which look more like softened vertical capsules than circles. The narrow build and compact internal space make the type feel dense, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used in longer settings.
