A compact, highly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and soft terminals, while verticals stay straight and dominant, producing a tall, streamlined silhouette. Counters are narrow and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense rhythm that reads as engineered and clean. The lowercase follows the same compressed, geometric logic, and figures echo the tall, narrow proportions for consistent color in mixed text.
Best suited for display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—posters, headlines, signage, and branded titling. It can also work for compact labels and packaging callouts, especially where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more characters per line without losing a strong graphic presence.
The overall tone feels retro-modern: part Art Deco signage, part utilitarian industrial labeling. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded geometry create a confident, efficient voice—sleek rather than friendly, with a subtle vintage flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed look with a distinctive rounded-rectangular geometry, balancing strict vertical structure with softened curves. It aims to create a recognizable, streamlined texture for titling and branding while maintaining a consistent, orderly rhythm across letters and numerals.
The font’s compressed width and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the rounded forms and internal shapes remain clear. The uppercase has a strong poster-like presence, and the numerals share the same streamlined, columnar feel, supporting cohesive typographic hierarchies.
