A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, producing squared counters in letters like O, D, and P and a generally rectilinear construction across the set. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with minimal modulation, and the rhythm is compact with narrow apertures and dense spacing. Figures follow the same narrow, straight-sided logic, reinforcing a consistent, compressed texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short text where vertical economy and strong presence are desirable, such as posters, signage, packaging fronts, and branding wordmarks. It can also work for compact subheads or labels where space is tight and a clean, contemporary voice is needed.
The overall tone feels urban and contemporary, with a utilitarian, engineered crispness. Its narrow build and squared-round forms evoke signage and poster typography, giving it a confident, no-nonsense presence that reads as modern and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in a narrow footprint while maintaining clean legibility through consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangular geometry. It prioritizes a disciplined, modern silhouette that holds together as a dense, graphic texture in display settings.
Uppercase forms are especially streamlined, while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey approach where visible, keeping the set cohesive. The punctuation and basic forms shown appear restrained and functional, favoring clarity over ornament.
