A tall, tightly condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and softly squared, rounded-rectangle curves. Letterforms emphasize verticality with straight, parallel stems and compact counters, while rounded corners keep the geometry smooth rather than sharp. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional angled cuts that add a subtle engineered feel. Overall spacing is compact and rhythmic, producing a dense, column-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where vertical emphasis and a compact footprint are useful, such as posters, headlines, packaging titles, signage, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short text blocks when a tight, stylized texture is desired, but its condensed width and dense rhythm favor larger sizes and simpler layouts.
The tone feels retro and architectural, evoking early 20th-century modern signage and streamlined poster lettering. Its narrow, upright stance reads controlled and precise, with a slightly theatrical, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry, combining clean modern structure with a vintage display sensibility. Its consistent stroke and disciplined proportions suggest a focus on impactful titling and space-efficient typography.
Uppercase and lowercase follow the same condensed logic, creating strong consistency across sizes, while the numerals match the narrow proportions for cohesive titling. The font maintains clarity through simple construction and restrained detailing, relying on proportion and geometry rather than ornament for personality.
