A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. The verticals dominate, while bowls and counters stay narrow and mostly rectangular, creating a compact, high-density texture. Terminals are clean and squared-off with subtly softened corners, and joins remain crisp, giving the face a controlled, engineered feel. Overall spacing is economical, producing strong vertical rhythm and a continuous, columnar color in text.
Best used at display sizes where its condensed width and strong vertical rhythm can deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space. It suits headlines, posters, branding lockups, packaging, and signage where a modern, compact presence is desirable, and it can also work for short bursts of text such as labels or navigation when ample size and spacing are available.
The font reads as bold and insistent, with a contemporary, city-forward tone. Its compressed proportions and clean geometry suggest efficiency and intensity, lending a slightly industrial, no-nonsense voice that feels suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving display sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangular construction and a strong, uniform stroke presence. Its proportions prioritize vertical emphasis and tight set widths to create bold messaging and dense typographic blocks without decorative extras.
Round letters such as O and Q appear as narrow superellipses rather than true circles, reinforcing the rectangular construction throughout. The lowercase maintains a compact footprint with straight stems and tight apertures, and the numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic for consistent typographic color across mixed content.
