A tall, compact sans with a strongly condensed footprint and consistent stroke thickness. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat with softened corners, and the overall construction favors straight verticals and tidy, engineered joins. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact apertures and sturdy, high-contrast-in-shape (not in stroke) silhouettes that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short lines of text where tight horizontal space and high impact are needed. It can work well for signage, packaging, product labels, sports or event graphics, and bold interface or dashboard headings where condensed width helps fit content without losing presence.
The font conveys a utilitarian, industrial confidence with a subtle retro-tech flavor. Its narrow, upright stance and squared-round forms feel efficient and mechanical, suggesting signage, labeling, and systems where space is at a premium and the tone should remain direct and no-nonsense.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow measure while maintaining a clean, geometric system. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention to blend strict, engineered structure with slightly softened corners for a modern, approachable edge.
Round letters like O/Q read as rounded rectangles, and diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y) are kept crisp and disciplined to match the rectilinear framework. Numerals are similarly compact and sturdy, echoing the same squared curves and straight-sided structure for a cohesive set.
