A tall, compact sans with a tightly set, vertical stance and consistently low stroke contrast. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptic feel rather than circular. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, with occasional subtle rounding that keeps edges from feeling sharp. The overall rhythm is narrow and efficient, with clean joins and straightforward construction that stays uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of text where space is tight and a crisp, contemporary voice is desired. The compact proportions and sturdy shapes work especially well for posters, packaging panels, wayfinding-style signage, and brand systems that need a condensed sans with a distinctive squared-round texture.
The tone is modern and utilitarian, with an industrial clarity that feels controlled and no-nonsense. Its condensed posture and squared-round curves suggest contemporary signage and technical labeling, while still reading as approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, space-saving typography with a contemporary, engineered character. By blending straight-sided structure with rounded-rectangle curvature, it aims to stay neutral and functional while remaining visually recognizable in display settings.
Capitals present a strong vertical emphasis and compact spacing, helping text occupy little horizontal room. Numerals follow the same tall, compact logic, reinforcing a consistent, system-like appearance in mixed alphanumeric settings.
