A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superelliptic curves. The overall construction is streamlined and vertical, with long ascenders and descenders and compact interior counters that emphasize height over width. Terminals are smooth and rounded, and many bowls read as rounded-rectangle forms, giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered rhythm. Spacing appears measured and even in running text, with a narrow footprint that keeps lines compact while maintaining clear letter differentiation.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed proportions can create impact without taking up horizontal space. It works well for headlines, posters, wayfinding/signage, packaging, and brand wordmarks that want a clean, contemporary feel with a refined, slightly retro edge. For long passages, it will be most comfortable in short bursts (subheads, captions, UI labels) rather than extended reading.
The font conveys a sleek, modern restraint with a subtle retro flavor—like mid‑century condensed signage updated with cleaner geometry. Its narrow, upright posture and rounded corners feel efficient and composed rather than expressive, producing a calm, technical tone that still has a bit of personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with consistent, rounded-rectangle geometry and a smooth, minimal finish. Its emphasis on verticality and uniform stroke behavior suggests a focus on clarity and visual discipline for modern display typography.
The numeric set follows the same condensed, rounded-rectilinear logic as the letters, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive. In sample text, the tall proportions create strong vertical cadence and a distinctive texture, especially in all-caps and headline-style lines.
