A tall, condensed sans with mostly monoline strokes and a compact footprint. The letterforms lean on rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry: counters are squarish with softened corners, and curves feel tightly controlled rather than calligraphic. Vertical strokes dominate, terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is even and columnar. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright, while the lowercase maintains straightforward construction with clear, simple joins and a consistent stroke presence across letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines and display settings where condensed width and strong presence help conserve space while staying impactful. It works well for signage, labels, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look, and it remains clear in short bursts of text such as UI labels, navigation, or data callouts.
The tone is functional and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that reads as direct and confident. Its tight proportions and firm outlines create an authoritative, contemporary voice suited to attention-forward typography rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and visual density in a narrow width, using superellipse-inspired rounds to keep shapes consistent and robust. Its restrained detailing and uniform stroke treatment suggest a focus on practical, modern communication with a distinctive geometric stamp.
Round letters like O/C/G read more like rounded rectangles than circles, giving text a distinctive engineered texture. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-off logic, helping mixed alphanumeric strings look uniform and organized. At larger sizes the geometric corners become a key signature detail.
