A compact, tall-proportioned sans with strongly vertical rhythm and a sturdy, uniform stroke presence. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and rounds a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation and crisp joins that keep forms rigid and space-efficient. Counters are relatively tight, and the overall fit reads condensed and economical in both uppercase and lowercase, with lining figures that match the font’s narrow, upright stance.
This style is well suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where condensed width and strong vertical rhythm help pack information into limited space. It can also work for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from an industrial, engineered voice and a compact, high-impact texture.
The tone is pragmatic and assertive, leaning industrial and contemporary rather than friendly or playful. Its squared-off curves and tight internal spaces create a no-nonsense, engineered feel that reads confident and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans built on superelliptical curves—balancing hard-edged efficiency with subtly rounded corners for modern, structured display typography.
In text, the font maintains a consistent, vertical texture with little calligraphic influence. Rounded corners soften the rigidity just enough to avoid harshness, while the condensed widths help it hold presence at large sizes and in short bursts of copy.
