A condensed, vertical sans with compact proportions and a strong, even color on the page. Strokes are largely straight-sided with rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters, giving round letters a squared-off, superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal modulation and tight interior spaces that emphasize a dense rhythm. The forms favor tall, narrow silhouettes and a consistent mechanical geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight and impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold identity work. It can also serve for attention-grabbing labels or wayfinding where a compact footprint and strong presence are advantageous.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a contemporary, industrial sensibility. Its narrow stance and squared curves create a no-nonsense presence that reads as efficient and direct rather than friendly or ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while preserving a clean, modern texture. Its superelliptical rounding and straight-sided structure suggest a goal of marrying geometric order with legibility in condensed display typography.
In text, the condensed width yields high information density and a strong vertical cadence, making lines feel packed and emphatic. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps curves from feeling soft, maintaining a structured, engineered look even in the most circular shapes.
