A tall, tightly set sans with an extremely condensed footprint and largely monoline construction. Strokes are straight and even, while curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) bowls that feel squared-off rather than purely circular. Terminals are clean and blunt, counters are narrow, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with proportions that vary noticeably from glyph to glyph (especially in wide letters like M/W versus narrow forms like I/J). Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic with simple, open shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to space-conscious applications where a tall, condensed voice is needed—headlines, poster typography, packaging panels, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for UI titling or data-dense display settings where horizontal space is limited.
The tone is crisp and efficient, with a contemporary, slightly industrial feel. Its narrow silhouettes and squared-round curves suggest signage, interfaces, and practical information design rather than expressive or calligraphic work.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly compact, legible display sans with a modern geometric underpinning, using rounded-rectangle curves to keep forms clear while maintaining a distinctive, engineered texture.
Round letters such as C/O/Q read as rounded rectangles, and the uppercase set maintains strong verticality across the line. The lowercase appears compact and understated, supporting a compressed, text-forward texture that prioritizes economy of space over softness.
