A condensed sans with tall proportions, generous vertical rhythm, and strongly rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes appear largely monolinear with smooth joins and softened terminals; many shapes resolve into rounded-rectangle counters and arches rather than circular bowls. The design favors straight-sided forms with curved shoulders (notably in n, m, u, and h), creating a clean, engineered texture. Capitals are compact and sturdy, while lowercase maintains a steady x-height with simple, open apertures and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its condensed width and tall silhouette can maximize impact in limited space. It works well for posters, packaging, branding wordmarks, and signage systems where a rounded-technical look is desirable and consistent letter texture helps maintain legibility at display sizes.
The overall tone feels retro-industrial and display-forward, blending mid-century poster energy with a tidy, technical clarity. Its narrow build and rounded geometry give it a friendly edge while still reading as assertive and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient display sans with a distinctive superelliptic geometry—prioritizing strong vertical presence, smooth rounding, and a consistent, engineered rhythm for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
Round overshoots and vertical stems are visually prominent, producing a strong “column” feel in text. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with compact bowls and straightforward construction that suits bold, high-contrast placement against backgrounds.
