A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a strong, uniform stroke. Curves are minimized and most bowls and joints resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel. Terminals are predominantly flat and vertical/horizontal, with consistent corner rounding that keeps the geometry cohesive. The lowercase is narrow and compact with simple, single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and short, functional extenders; punctuation and figures follow the same blocky, squared logic for a uniform texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where vertical impact and economy of space are priorities. It also works well for signage, wayfinding, labels, and interface callouts that benefit from compact letterforms and a structured, technical look.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, mixing a retro display flavor with a technical, engineered crispness. Its compressed rhythm reads assertive and space-efficient, evoking signage, labeling, and utilitarian modernism rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that stays visually consistent through a rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes space efficiency and a strong, engineered presence, aiming for clear silhouettes and a distinctive, modular rhythm in display and short-text settings.
The condensed width creates pronounced vertical emphasis and a darker typographic color in running text. Squared counters and narrow apertures remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain a stable, modular voice in mixed-case settings.
