A condensed sans with tall proportions and compact set widths, built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are monolinear with minimal modulation, and terminals are generally flat, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. Round letters like O/C/G read as superelliptical rather than circular, while joins and corners stay crisp and controlled. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with compact bowls and tight apertures; numerals follow the same sturdy, rectangular logic.
Best suited to display roles where a condensed, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding. The compact width also makes it effective for space-constrained branding and short UI labels where a structured, technical look is desired.
The overall tone is disciplined and industrial, with a no-nonsense presence that feels technical and contemporary. Its squared curves and dense verticality suggest utility, signage, and system graphics rather than softness or ornament.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, assertive sans that stays highly consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its superelliptical geometry prioritizes clarity and a modern, utilitarian aesthetic for contemporary graphic applications.
Caps present a strong vertical emphasis with consistent widths and simplified internal shapes. Punctuation and figures maintain the same squared, sturdy styling, helping mixed-case settings feel uniform and structured.
