A tall, tightly set sans with uniform stroke weight and strongly condensed proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters read like softened vertical ovals with squared shoulders, and terminals generally end flat. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with narrow apertures and a restrained, engineered feel; lowercase forms keep a straightforward structure (single-storey a and g) and punctuation/digits follow the same narrow, monoline logic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where its tall, compact silhouette can save horizontal space while still feeling bold and contemporary. It also works well for wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding/signage that benefits from a narrow, high-impact sans with distinctive rounded-rectangular curves.
The tone is crisp and metropolitan, with a slightly vintage, sign-painter/industrial flavor due to its condensed stance and rounded-rectilinear curves. It feels confident and utilitarian rather than playful, projecting clarity and a streamlined, architectural attitude.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a minimal, condensed footprint, pairing monoline construction with softened rectangular curves for a modern, industrial display voice. The consistent geometry suggests an emphasis on coherence and repeatable shapes for strong identity-driven typography.
The condensed width and tight internal spaces create a strong column-like texture in text, which emphasizes verticality and can become dense at smaller sizes. The distinctive superelliptical rounding gives common letters (like O/C/D) a recognizable, branded silhouette that reads well in larger settings.
