A tall, condensed sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) shapes, with narrow counters and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes read largely monolinear, with crisp terminals and tightly controlled joins that keep curves compact and squarish rather than fully circular. The uppercase set is blocky and columnar, while the lowercase follows a similarly narrow rhythm with simple, straight-sided bowls and compact apertures. Numerals are equally tall and tight, matching the rigid, engineered proportions of the letters.
Best suited for display use where tight width is an advantage: headlines, posters, and space-constrained branding. It should also work well for signage, packaging, and labels that benefit from a compact, high-impact condensed look.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of signage and machine labeling. Its compressed geometry and squared curves give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that leans more utilitarian than friendly.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using squared-round construction for a cohesive, engineered aesthetic. Its consistent geometry suggests an intention to maintain a strong, uniform texture across both all-caps settings and mixed-case display text.
The design relies on repeated vertical stems and consistently rounded corners, creating a uniform texture in lines of text. Letterforms with bowls and diagonals stay restrained, preserving a streamlined, architectural silhouette even in longer samples.
