A tightly condensed sans with a monoline stroke and strongly vertical emphasis. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls, giving counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circularity. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are crisp, and spacing is compact, producing a dense, columnar rhythm in text. The numeral set follows the same narrow proportions and streamlined geometry for consistent texture in headlines and listings.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, poster typography, magazine titles, and strong branding wordmarks. Its compact footprint and steady stroke make it effective for packaging, labels, and UI headings where a tall, dense typographic color helps establish hierarchy.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, with a slightly industrial edge created by its compact width and squared curves. It feels efficient and attention-grabbing, projecting confidence without decorative gestures.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum vertical presence in minimal horizontal space, using squared, softened curves to keep forms modern and consistent. It prioritizes a clear, systematic silhouette for high-impact display typography and tight compositions.
Round letters such as C, G, O, and Q read as tall rounded rectangles, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are steep and tightly drawn to maintain the narrow silhouette. The lowercase keeps a simple, utilitarian construction, supporting a uniform texture in long headline lines.
