A condensed, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes read largely monoline, with smooth joins and terminals that tend to finish bluntly or with subtle rounding rather than sharp cuts. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, giving letters a tall, columnar rhythm, while bowls and shoulders maintain a consistent superelliptical tension. The overall texture is dense and even, with crisp edges and minimal modulation, producing strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titling, and branding where a condensed footprint and strong silhouettes help maximize impact in limited horizontal space. It also fits wayfinding and packaging applications that benefit from an orderly, engineered feel and consistent geometric rhythm.
The forms evoke a streamlined, retro-modern tone with clear Art Deco and early industrial signage cues. Its tight proportions and rounded-rectilinear geometry feel confident and engineered, suggesting a mix of vintage sophistication and utilitarian clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry, balancing vintage influence with modern simplicity. It prioritizes consistent shape logic and bold presence for attention-grabbing typography in tight columns and large-scale settings.
The caps and figures present as particularly sturdy and poster-ready, with distinctive, narrow apertures and compact interior spaces. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S retain a squared-off roundness that keeps the font’s geometry consistent across the set, while diagonals (notably in K, V/W, and Y) stay disciplined and clean.
