A tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves and counters are built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms, giving O/C/G-style shapes a compact, superelliptical feel rather than geometric circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm is uniform and dense, producing dark, continuous texture in text. The lowercase maintains tall proportions with short extenders, while numerals and capitals match the same narrow, upright architecture for consistent color.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and campaign graphics where vertical economy and impact matter. It also works for branding, packaging, and signage systems that need a compact, high-contrast-in-scale wordmark-like presence, especially in short bursts of text rather than long reading.
The tone is forceful and streamlined, leaning toward contemporary industrial and headline-driven aesthetics. Its narrow, high-impact silhouettes feel utilitarian and urban, with a slightly retro poster sensibility due to the tall, compressed construction.
The design appears intended to maximize punch and legibility in narrow spaces by combining condensed proportions with simplified, monoline construction and squared-round counters. The consistent, engineered shapes suggest a display-forward sans aimed at strong typographic color and space-efficient messaging.
The dense fit and narrow counters create strong presence but can make small sizes feel compact; it reads best when given space in line-height and tracking. The superelliptical rounding keeps the overall look friendly enough to avoid harshness while still feeling rigid and engineered.
