A highly condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes appear largely monoline, with minimal contrast and crisp terminals. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel; the ‘O’ and ‘0’ read as narrow rounded forms rather than true circles. Joins are tight and vertical emphasis is strong, producing dense texture in words while maintaining clear, consistent spacing.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and signage where narrow width and strong vertical presence help fit more characters per line. It also works for packaging and logo lockups that benefit from a compact, contemporary wordmark, and for short bursts of text where a dense, graphic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is direct and utilitarian, with a contemporary, city-poster energy. Its compressed, upright stance feels efficient and commanding, suited to messages that need to read quickly and take up little horizontal space.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with a clean, geometric construction. By using rounded-rectangle curves and restrained stroke modulation, it aims for a modern, robust appearance that remains legible in tight settings.
Round glyphs (like C, G, O, Q) keep a distinctly rectilinear curvature, reinforcing a streamlined, engineered look. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and integrate cleanly with the capitals and lowercase in mixed text.
