A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and squared, superellipse-like curves that soften corners without becoming fully circular. The overall build is tall and space-efficient, with tight internal counters and relatively closed apertures, giving letters a solid, packed texture. Vertical strokes dominate, terminals are clean and blunt, and rounded forms (C, O, e, 0) read as rounded rectangles rather than true ovals. Numerals follow the same narrow, sturdy construction for a consistent, uniform rhythm in mixed settings.
Best suited for headlines and short to medium-length copy where horizontal space is limited and a strong, compact presence is desired. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and product or wayfinding labels that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look and consistent rhythm across letters and numbers.
The tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial, modern voice that feels engineered for clarity and impact. Its condensed silhouette and blocky curves suggest signage, labeling, and pragmatic communication more than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and space economy through a condensed structure and monoline construction, while using rounded-rectangle curves to keep the forms contemporary and highly uniform. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent geometry for clear, assertive display typography.
In text, the condensed widths create a dense gray value, while the squared-round geometry gives a distinctive ‘tech’ flavor. The lowercase remains straightforward and functional, and the overall palette favors legibility at larger sizes where the tight apertures and compact counters can breathe.
