A compact, vertically oriented sans with monolinear strokes and a pronounced condensed build. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, producing squared counters and softened corners rather than fully circular bowls. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with tight apertures and a consistent, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same narrow, stacked proportions with straightforward, sign-like construction.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where space is limited but impact is needed—posters, editorial heads, packaging, and branding systems. The narrow footprint also makes it useful for signage and interface labels where vertical emphasis and compact line length are desirable.
The overall tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling and contemporary wayfinding. Its tight, upright posture feels controlled and assertive, while the rounded-rectangle shaping keeps it from reading as harsh or purely mechanical. The result is modern and efficient, with a slightly retro signage flavor.
The design appears intended as a space-saving display sans that maintains strong legibility through simple construction and consistent stroke logic. By blending strict vertical proportions with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims to feel modern and functional while retaining a distinctive, modular identity.
In text settings the condensed widths create a dense gray value and strong vertical cadence, making words feel tall and compressed. The superellipse-based rounding is especially noticeable in rounded letters and bowls, giving the face a distinctive squarish softness that stays consistent across upper- and lowercase and figures.
