A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Curves are tightened into squared, softly rounded corners, with mostly straight-sided bowls and apertures that keep counters small but clear. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall drawing feels slightly textured/inked, giving the black shapes a subtly rugged edge without adding true contrast. Proportions are tall and compressed, with straightforward uppercase structure and a narrow, efficient rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and compact display settings where space is limited but impact is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage applications that benefit from a sturdy, industrial sans with a controlled, condensed footprint.
The tone is practical and industrial, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its narrow, sturdy shapes read as direct and utilitarian, suggesting labels, signage, and workmanlike branding rather than delicate or expressive typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while keeping a clean, modern construction. The rounded-rect geometry and blunt terminals aim for a functional, engineered aesthetic that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
In running text, the tight width and reduced interior space increase density, so spacing and line length become important for comfort. Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared-round logic, supporting a consistent, system-like voice across headings and short copy.
