A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softly squared corners, giving bowls and counters a boxy, engineered feel rather than circular. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, and apertures are relatively tight, creating a compact, high-impact texture. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian with short extenders, while figures echo the same squared, rounded-corner geometry for a consistent rhythm in text and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where space is tight but impact is needed, such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and product labeling. It can also work well for wayfinding and signage-style applications thanks to its straightforward shapes and consistent, engineered forms.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its condensed stance and squared curves suggest signage, labeling, and engineered systems, reading as modern and pragmatic rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-clarity sans built from rounded-rectangular forms, prioritizing a strong vertical presence and a cohesive, system-like aesthetic across letters and numbers.
The design maintains strong consistency between caps, lowercase, and numerals, with repeated rounded-rectangle motifs that keep words visually uniform. The compact counters and narrow proportions create a dense typographic color that emphasizes verticality and efficiency.
