A condensed sans with monolinear strokes and squared-round construction, where curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. Counters are tight and openings are controlled, giving letters a compact, vertical rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with minimal modulation; joints are crisp and geometry-forward. Uppercase shapes are tall and narrow, and the lowercase follows the same disciplined, compact proportions, producing an even, economical texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and signage where space is limited and a tall, compact voice is desirable. It can also work in branding and packaging for products that benefit from a clean, technical impression, and for UI or dashboard labels where concise, high-clarity text is needed at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a technical, engineered feel. Its compactness and squared-round curves suggest efficiency and contemporary utility rather than warmth or calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, contemporary sans voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing efficient width, consistent stroke behavior, and a crisp, utilitarian presence across letters and numerals.
Round letters such as O/C/G read as superelliptical, and the straight-sided geometry is echoed across both cases and numerals, helping the set feel consistent. The narrow proportions and restrained spacing create a dense, headline-ready color while still remaining legible in short text runs.
