A tall, tightly set sans with monolinear strokes and softly squared curves that read like rounded rectangles. Counters are compact and vertical, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation, giving the shapes a clean, engineered feel. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are superellipse-like, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep a strict, uniform rhythm. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same condensed proportions, with simple, open construction and restrained detailing.
Best suited to headlines, labels, and display typography where vertical emphasis and compact width are useful. It can work well for signage, UI headers, packaging, and brand wordmarks that want a clean, technical voice. In long passages or small sizes, the condensed forms and compact counters may require generous size and spacing for comfort.
The font conveys a contemporary, functional tone—more industrial and technical than expressive. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded-rect geometry suggest efficiency, signage clarity, and a slightly retro-futurist sensibility without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum horizontal economy with a consistent, modern sans structure, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create a distinctive silhouette. It aims for a controlled, contemporary look that stays neutral enough for many applications while remaining recognizable through its condensed proportions and softened corners.
The overall texture is even and disciplined, with tight interior spaces that favor larger sizes and short lines. Rounded corners soften the rigidity of the condensed structure, balancing approachability with a distinctly systematic look.
