A tall, compact sans with monoline strokes and a strongly vertical stance. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, creating smooth, squared-off bowls and counters rather than fully circular geometry. Terminals are clean and blunt, and joins stay controlled and crisp, producing a tight, efficient rhythm. Uppercase forms feel columnar and evenly paced, while the lowercase maintains simple, sturdy structures that keep texture consistent in running text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm help maximize impact. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage systems that need a contemporary, engineered look and consistent texture across mixed-case text and numerals.
The overall tone is industrial and modern, with an assertive, no-nonsense presence. Its condensed proportions and squared curves evoke signage and engineered design, giving copy a direct, functional voice without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans with softened rectangular geometry—balancing strict vertical structure with friendly rounded corners. It prioritizes consistency and clarity, aiming for a modern typographic voice that reads cleanly while feeling firmly constructed.
Counters tend to be compact and vertically oriented, which increases density and emphasizes a tall silhouette. The figures share the same structural logic as the letters—straightforward, blocky, and built for clarity at display sizes.
