A compact, tall-proportioned sans with a tightly condensed footprint and largely monoline construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, joins are straightforward, and counters remain relatively open for such a narrow design. The overall rhythm is vertical and efficient, with consistent stroke weight and restrained detailing across letters and numerals.
Best suited to space-constrained display roles such as headlines, subheads, posters, labels, and packaging where a strong vertical presence is helpful. It can also work for signage or UI labels when set at comfortable sizes, especially where narrow columns or tight layouts demand economy.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary, leaning toward an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its condensed stance reads assertive and space-saving, with a clear, engineered feel that avoids friendliness in favor of clarity and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while keeping forms simple and consistent. Its rounded-rectangle shaping suggests a deliberate blend of engineered precision and softened corners to maintain readability in a condensed format.
The numeral set follows the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, with uniform stroke presence and compact proportions that suit tight settings. Uppercase and lowercase maintain a coherent, simplified construction, favoring straightforward silhouettes over calligraphic nuance.
