A tall, tightly condensed sans with monolinear strokes and softly squared, superelliptical curves. The forms are built from narrow verticals with rounded terminals and corners, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Curves are restrained and compact (notably in C/G/S), while straight-sided shapes (H/N/M) emphasize a rigid vertical rhythm. Spacing appears economical and consistent, reinforcing the font’s compressed, vertical emphasis in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where vertical economy is useful—posters, signage, labels, packaging, and compact branding wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation where space is tight, though extended body text may feel dense due to the compressed widths.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, with a slightly industrial, signage-like crispness. Its narrow proportions and steady rhythm suggest efficiency and density, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility within minimal horizontal space, using a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction to maintain consistency and a contemporary voice. The disciplined vertical rhythm suggests a focus on strong silhouette and efficient information density for display typography.
The numeral set follows the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, matching the caps in height and presence. Uppercase and lowercase share a similar narrow footprint, producing a uniform texture that reads as disciplined and engineered, especially at larger sizes.
