This typeface is a condensed sans with tall proportions and a strong rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction throughout. Strokes are largely uniform with gently softened terminals, producing a clean, machined feel rather than a geometric circle-based one. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and rounded corners, with tight apertures and compact internal counters that emphasize a vertical rhythm. The lowercase is similarly narrow with simple, utilitarian shapes, and the figures follow the same squared-round logic for a consistent texture in text and numerals.
It suits headlines, posters, and identity work where a compact, space-saving voice is needed with a technical or retro-industrial flavor. It also performs well for signage, labels, and packaging where the squared-round forms and consistent stroke weight create strong, repeatable patterns across words and numbers.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and engineered—like labeling on equipment, transport signage, or mid-century technical graphics. Its compact, upright stance and squared-round curves read as confident and functional, with a slightly stylized display edge that adds character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to blend functional legibility with a distinctive superelliptic silhouette, offering a streamlined, space-efficient sans that evokes engineered forms. The consistent rounded-rectangle geometry suggests a focus on cohesive word shapes and a recognizable, system-like typographic voice.
In sample text, the condensed width creates a dense, column-like color that can look bold at larger sizes, especially in all-caps. The rounded corners keep the heavy black shapes from feeling harsh, while the tight apertures and squarish bowls maintain a crisp, industrial identity.
