A tall, tightly condensed sans with consistent stroke thickness and squared-off, rounded-rectangle construction in curves and terminals. The proportions are strongly vertical, with compact widths, short apertures, and counters that read like softened rectangles rather than circles. Joins are clean and controlled, with minimal flare; curves in letters like C, G, O, and S keep a superelliptical tension, while vertical stems dominate the texture. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a relatively straightforward, functional rhythm and numerals that match the same narrow, upright stance.
Well-suited to headlines and short bursts of text where vertical impact and economy of space matter, such as posters, packaging panels, and wayfinding or retail signage. It also works for branding wordmarks that need a compact, assertive presence at larger sizes.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, projecting an industrial, signage-like confidence. Its compressed silhouette feels efficient and space-saving, with a contemporary, engineered character rather than a friendly or handwritten one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and presence in narrow widths, using monoline strokes and superelliptical curves to keep forms consistent and visually engineered. It prioritizes a strong, condensed rhythm that holds up in bold, display-forward settings.
Spacing in the samples produces a dense, even gray value that stays stable across mixed case and numerals. The rounded-rectangle curves create a distinctive, slightly mechanical softness compared to purely geometric circles, helping the face feel modern without becoming playful.
