A tall, tightly drawn sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are uniform and monoline, with rounded-rectangle terminals and softly squared counters that give curves a superelliptical feel rather than fully circular bowls. The construction favors straight sides and narrow apertures, keeping letters crisp and economical while maintaining gentle rounding at corners. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed, vertical stance, producing an even, column-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to space-conscious headlines, subheads, and poster typography where a tall condensed silhouette is beneficial. It can work well for signage and wayfinding, packaging panels, and brand systems that need a compact, vertical texture with a contemporary-industrial edge.
The overall tone reads streamlined and utilitarian, with a subtle retro signage flavor. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded corners balance severity with approachability, suggesting efficiency without looking brittle. The texture feels controlled and editorial, lending a slightly industrial voice to headlines and short blocks of copy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in narrow widths, combining monoline construction with rounded-rectangle geometry for a distinctive, consistent texture. It prioritizes verticality and economy of space while keeping the tone softened through superelliptical curves.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates strong word-shapes and tight line economy, while the rounded corners prevent the forms from appearing overly mechanical. The superelliptical bowls and straight-sided curves give the face a distinctive, engineered look that stands out from more neutral grotesques.
