A tall, tightly compressed sans with monoline strokes and minimal contrast. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel while keeping corners softly radiused. Terminals are mostly flat and cut cleanly, with a compact rhythm and strong vertical emphasis; apertures tend toward narrow, and interior counters are small relative to the heavy stems. The overall drawing reads crisp and mechanical, with simplified forms across letters and numerals for consistent texture in dense settings.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited but impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, and punchy editorial titles. The condensed build also works well for packaging, labels, and wayfinding/signage applications that benefit from a strong vertical presence and a compact line length.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone—confident, efficient, and slightly retro-technical. Its compressed stance and squared curves create a sense of urgency and impact, suited to messages that need to feel direct and high-energy without decorative softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in narrow widths while keeping a clean, contemporary voice. Its superelliptical construction and simplified detailing suggest a focus on consistency and legibility at display sizes, emphasizing a mechanical, engineered aesthetic.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions produce a dark, continuous typographic color, especially in mixed-case lines. Uppercase forms are notably tall and commanding, and the numerals follow the same compact, sturdy construction, helping maintain a unified look across alphanumerics.
