A condensed geometric sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, engineered feel rather than pure circularity. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with tight apertures and compact interior spaces that keep the texture crisp. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with simple, stripped-down construction, while the lowercase shows very small bodies with comparatively long ascenders and descenders, creating a distinctive, high-contrast-in-proportions rhythm across lines.
Works best for display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its condensed geometry can create a strong vertical rhythm and save horizontal space. It can also suit signage and UI labels at larger sizes, where the squared-round curves and clean terminals remain clear.
The overall tone feels modernist and slightly retro, with an Art Deco–adjacent narrowness and a playful geometric warmth from the rounded squareness. It reads as orderly and technical, but not sterile—its quirky proportions and compact lowercase add personality.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving, vertically oriented geometric voice with superelliptic curves—combining modern clarity with a subtle retro sensibility. The proportion choices suggest an emphasis on distinctive silhouette and headline impact over conventional text-normal color.
The condensed set width and tight counters make the font visually efficient, especially in uppercase. Numbers follow the same narrow, superelliptic logic, keeping a consistent, sign-like cadence. In mixed-case text, the unusually small lowercase relative to capitals and the extended vertical strokes make line texture lively and a bit unconventional.
