A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact footprint. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving O/C/G and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes are largely uniform, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals; corners are consistently rounded, helping the forms stay smooth at large sizes. The lowercase follows the same narrow, vertical rhythm with compact counters and generally closed apertures, creating a dense texture in words and lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where compact width and strong presence are useful. It can work well in branding and packaging that benefits from a modern, industrial tone, and in signage where narrow lettering helps fit long words into limited horizontal space.
The font projects a practical, industrial confidence with a modern, engineered edge. Its compressed stance and squared-round curves read as assertive and efficient, leaning more toward signage and headlines than delicate editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal width while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans voice. The superelliptical rounding and uniform stroke system suggest an intention to feel engineered and consistent, with legibility prioritized for large sizes and short-to-medium text blocks.
The uppercase is especially tall and dominant, and the overall spacing feels tight, amplifying impact in short phrases. Round letters maintain a consistent rounded-rectangle skeleton, while diagonals (like in A, V, W, X) keep a clean, straight-sided structure that reinforces the vertical, poster-like rhythm.
