A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves. Counters are narrow and vertical, and many forms lean on straight sides with softly rounded terminals, creating a clean, tubular rhythm. The lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with simple, single-storey shapes and compact apertures, while capitals and numerals maintain consistent, vertically oriented proportions for a cohesive, stacked silhouette.
Best suited to display contexts where height and density are assets: headlines, posters, cover lines, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding applications that benefit from compact width. It also works well for logos and wordmarks that need a strong vertical presence and a clean, rounded industrial finish.
The overall tone feels modern and assertive, with a slightly retro sign-painting or poster sensibility driven by its elongated proportions and compact spacing. Its rounded geometry softens the impact, keeping it approachable while still reading as confident and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in narrow horizontal space while preserving a friendly, contemporary feel through rounded superelliptic construction. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified letterforms suggest a focus on clarity and repeatable rhythm for prominent display use.
In text, the condensed width creates strong vertical texture and can reduce word-shape differentiation at smaller sizes, especially where letters share similar narrow bowls and stems. Numerals follow the same tall, streamlined logic, integrating smoothly with all-caps settings and headline typography.
