A tall, compact sans with monolinear strokes and tightly packed proportions. Curves and bowls lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a squared-off smoothness rather than fully circular rounds. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with restrained curvature at joins; counters stay relatively narrow and apertures tend to be closed, reinforcing a dense vertical rhythm. The overall texture is even and dark, with consistent stroke thickness across straight and curved segments and minimal optical modulation.
Best suited to display and short-text settings where a dense, high-impact line can conserve horizontal space—such as headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and labels. It can also work for UI or navigation elements when a compact footprint and strong presence are needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The typeface reads as modern and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense tone. Its condensed stance and squared-round forms feel confident and space-efficient, suited to messages that want to look direct and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears aimed at delivering a space-saving sans with a strong, consistent typographic color and a geometric, rounded-rectilinear construction. Its simplified forms and compact rhythm suggest an intention to stay legible and impactful in constrained widths while maintaining a contemporary, engineered look.
The grid sample shows strong uniformity across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a consistent vertical cadence. The letterforms favor compact counters and simplified structure, which helps maintain a solid typographic color in tight settings while keeping the shapes crisp and unmistakably geometric.
