A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off bowls and smooth, controlled terminals. Vertical stems dominate the texture, with simple, functional joins and minimal modulation; counters stay relatively narrow, creating a dense, economical rhythm. Figures match the same condensed stance, with straightforward forms suited to aligned, space-efficient setting.
Best suited to display roles where a lot of text needs to fit into limited horizontal space—headlines, posters, and bold typographic layouts. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a compact, high-impact condensed sans.
The overall tone is direct and utilitarian, with a contemporary, slightly industrial voice. Its compressed width and strong verticality give it an assertive, headline-forward presence that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and impact in a narrow footprint, using superelliptical round forms to keep the tone modern while maintaining a sturdy, engineered consistency across letters and figures.
Round letters like C, O, and Q show the superelliptical construction clearly, with corners that feel softly squared rather than fully circular. The lowercase maintains a clean, engineered look, and the punctuation in the sample text reinforces a crisp, structured page color at large sizes.
