A compact, vertically oriented sans with tall lowercase proportions and tightly constrained widths. Forms are built from squared-off strokes and rounded-rectangle curves, giving counters a superelliptical, “soft-corner” geometry. Stroke weight is sturdy and even, with minimal modulation; terminals are blunt and corners are slightly eased rather than sharp. The overall rhythm is dense and columnar, with narrow apertures and compact internal space that emphasize a stacked, architectural silhouette in text.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, signage, and packaging. It also works well for labels and interface or dashboard-style callouts where a compact, structured texture and strong numeral set are desirable.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of labeling, signage, and display typography. Its tight, blocky build reads as confident and utilitarian, lending a controlled, mechanical voice to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to maximize visual strength and space efficiency while maintaining a friendly, rounded-rectangle softness in curves. It balances rigid, engineered structure with subtly eased corners to stay legible and cohesive in dense, condensed settings.
Round letters (like O/C/G) keep a squarish footprint, while diagonals (A/V/W/Y) are straight and steep, reinforcing the condensed, engineered feel. Numerals share the same squared geometry and strong presence, making them visually consistent for prominent numeric callouts.
