A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Counters are compact and corners are smoothly softened, producing squarish bowls and rounded terminals rather than sharp cuts. Vertical strokes dominate, with minimal contrast and a steady rhythm that keeps letterforms dense and space-efficient. Numerals and capitals follow the same compact, sturdy geometry for a consistent, engineered texture.
Works best for headlines, posters, and brand marks that need a compact footprint and strong presence. It also suits signage, packaging, and UI labels where narrow uppercase or short words must fit into limited horizontal space while staying visually consistent.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical—clean, controlled, and purpose-built. Its narrow stance and squared curves evoke signage, labeling, and modern utility graphics more than expressive or editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a compressed width, using uniform strokes and rounded-square forms to maintain clarity and cohesion. It prioritizes a systematic, contemporary look that reads as functional and modern.
Because of the compressed proportions and tight internal spaces, the font builds strong vertical emphasis and high impact in short strings. The rounded-square shaping keeps it from feeling harsh, balancing a mechanical structure with approachable softness.
