A tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical posture. Curves and bowls are based on rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a squarish softness rather than circular roundness. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins stay crisp, producing a compact, high-tension rhythm. The lowercase shows compact forms with short crossbars and minimal modulation, while figures follow the same narrow, upright construction for a uniform text color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where verticality and economy of width are advantages. It also works well for signage and interface titles that need a compact, high-impact sans in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with an architectural, city-signage feel. Its compressed proportions and squared-rounded curves read as direct and functional, with a slightly retro-industrial edge.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a compressed footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the condensed construction friendly and controlled rather than sharp or decorative.
The narrow apertures and tight internal spaces create a dense texture that holds together well in short bursts, but can feel intense in longer passages. The consistent rounded-rect curve logic across letters and numerals helps maintain coherence in display settings.
