A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and a compact footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than perfectly circular forms. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with rounded joins and minimal modulation, creating an even, engineered rhythm. Proportions are strongly vertical, with short crossbars and narrow bowls; the lowercase maintains a high x-height and the overall texture reads dense but orderly in text.
Works best where space is limited and a strong vertical presence is desired, such as headlines, subheads, posters, labels, and wayfinding. The dense texture also suits UI labels and navigation elements where a crisp, consistent rhythm is more important than airy readability at long text lengths.
The tone is contemporary and functional, with a slightly industrial coolness. Its condensed stance and squared-round forms evoke signage and modern packaging, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a disciplined, no-nonsense demeanor.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in narrow measure while maintaining a clean, contemporary voice. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention to feel technical and modern without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Round letters like O/C/G show a superelliptical silhouette, while straight-sided forms (H, N, M) reinforce a rigid, architectural skeleton. Numerals follow the same compact, upright logic and match the letterforms closely for a consistent typographic color.
