A tall, tightly condensed sans with monolinear strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are squarish and controlled, with softly rounded corners rather than true circular bowls, and terminals tend to finish bluntly. Counters are compact and vertical, apertures are relatively narrow, and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a strong vertical texture. Letterforms keep a consistent geometric logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with modest, functional shaping for readability at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a compact width helps fit more characters per line without losing presence. It can work effectively for posters, branding wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding/signage-style graphics that benefit from a tall, punchy silhouette and consistent geometric construction.
The tone is practical and direct, with a slightly retro-industrial feel created by the tall proportions and squared curves. It reads assertive and efficient rather than friendly, suggesting signage, headlines, and tightly set editorial typography where space and impact matter.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary structure. Its superelliptical bowls and blunt terminals suggest a deliberate balance between strict geometry and softened corners for a distinctive, reproducible display voice.
The condensed proportions amplify vertical strokes, so spacing and line breaks will strongly influence color and legibility. Rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid geometry, giving the face a distinctive “squared-off” personality without becoming decorative.
