A tightly condensed, monoline design built from straight verticals and simplified curves, with most joins resolving into squared or softly rounded corners. Counters tend toward narrow, rectangular apertures and the overall geometry reads as lightly octagonal, giving letters a constructed, tool-like feel. The uppercase is tall and rigid while the lowercase keeps a high, compact body with minimal extenders, producing an even, vertical rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with open, linear forms and consistent stroke endings.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed structure and geometric cornering can read crisply—posters, headlines, product labels, and signage systems. It can also work for short UI or dashboard labels when a narrow footprint is needed, though long paragraphs may feel dense due to the compressed rhythm.
The tone feels engineered and slightly retro, evoking labeling, drafting, and utilitarian signage rather than warmth or calligraphy. Its compressed stance and modular corners add a subtle noir/tech atmosphere that can read disciplined, minimal, and a bit austere.
The design appears aimed at a hand-drawn, constructed look that mimics engineered lettering—compact, economical, and consistent—while keeping a distinctive, stylized edge through its squared-off curves and narrow proportions.
Spacing appears tight and vertical emphasis is strong, so word shapes become a clean set of repeating uprights. The distinctive corner treatment and simplified bowls make the texture cohesive, especially in longer lines where the font forms a uniform, gridded color.
