A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and strongly condensed proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles, giving bowls and terminals a superelliptical, squared-off softness. The rhythm is clean and even, with consistent stroke thickness, generous internal space for the width, and compact sidebearings that keep words narrow and vertical. Round letters like O/Q and lowercase bowls keep a controlled, engineered feel, while joins and terminals stay simple and uncluttered.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed footprint is useful—headlines, posters, covers, and packaging, as well as signage or interface labels that need a tall, space-saving voice. It can also work for short editorial subheads, especially where a modern, architectural texture is desired.
The overall tone feels contemporary and streamlined, with a subtle retro-futurist/art-deco lean from the narrow stance and rounded-rect geometry. It reads as efficient and technical, projecting clarity and restraint rather than warmth or calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that stays clean at a glance, using rounded-rectangle construction to create a distinctive geometric signature without adding ornament. Its consistent stroke and simplified structures prioritize graphic uniformity and tight, vertical word shapes.
Uppercase shapes emphasize verticality and uniformity, and the numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect construction for a cohesive set. The design’s tight width and simplified details make it visually striking in short bursts, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh.
