A tall, condensed sans with largely monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters and terminals. Curves are tightened and verticals dominate, producing compact letterforms with narrow apertures and a steady, vertical rhythm. Joins and ends read clean and controlled rather than calligraphic, with smooth rounding on bowls and shoulders that keeps the texture even in dense settings. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed proportions, maintaining consistent color and a tidy, columnar silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where condensed width is an advantage and a consistent, modern texture is desired. It can also work for branding and packaging systems that need a compact, high-impact sans, and for signage or labels where vertical rhythm and space efficiency matter.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a slightly industrial, poster-ready directness. Its tight width and even stroke behavior give it an assertive, urban feel that reads as efficient and contemporary rather than friendly or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle geometry for a clean, contemporary look. Its consistent stroke weight and controlled curves suggest a focus on reproducible, system-friendly forms for modern graphic communication.
In the text sample, the narrow proportions create strong line economy and a striking vertical emphasis, while the rounded-corner geometry prevents the texture from feeling brittle. The compact spacing and small apertures can make long passages feel dense, but they help headings and short bursts of text look focused and organized.
