A tall, tightly packed sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical stance. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with rounded-rectangle curves and squared shoulders that give counters and bowls a superelliptical feel. Apertures tend to be relatively tight, and many forms show subtly softened corners rather than sharp joins, producing a clean but robust texture in lines of text. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with simple terminals and compact bowls that keep spacing economical.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding. Its compact width and sturdy construction also make it a good fit for logos, labels, and UI title treatments where a tall, efficient silhouette helps conserve horizontal space.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, pairing a contemporary, engineered geometry with a slightly softened finish. It feels assertive and utilitarian—more like signage and equipment labeling than editorial elegance—while remaining friendly enough for bold headlines.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact condensed sans with a controlled, geometric backbone and softened superelliptical curves. The intent seems to be clear, economical communication with a contemporary industrial flavor and consistent letter construction across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the condensed width and dense rhythm create a strong, dark typographic color that holds together well at display sizes. The rounded-rectangular construction is especially noticeable in letters with bowls and in the numerals, reinforcing a consistent, system-like character.
