A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and an overall condensed build. Curves and bowls are drawn as softened rectangles, giving round forms a superelliptic, rounded-corner feel rather than fully circular geometry. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared-off, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation. Counters stay relatively open for the width, and the rhythm is clean and even, producing a crisp vertical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where a narrow footprint and strong vertical rhythm help fit more text without losing presence. It can work well for brand wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding or signage systems that want a modern, engineered feel. For longer text, it will perform better with comfortable leading and slightly increased letterspacing.
The tone feels contemporary and efficient, with a slightly industrial edge coming from the narrow stance and squared, rounded-rectangle curves. It reads as confident and matter-of-fact rather than friendly, lending a modern, metropolitan character suited to structured layouts.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, high-impact sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction. Its consistent monoline strokes and disciplined terminals suggest a focus on clarity and a contemporary, technical aesthetic while maintaining a recognizable, stylized silhouette.
Uppercase characters show a disciplined, engineered geometry, while lowercase maintains the same rounded-rectangular logic for bowls and joins. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-yet-softened construction, keeping a consistent voice across alphanumerics. In the sample text, the strong vertical emphasis creates a compact, high-impact line that benefits from generous tracking and clear line spacing.
