A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and compact internal counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off softness rather than fully circular geometry. Vertical strokes dominate the rhythm, with short crossbars and minimal modulation; joins stay crisp and corners are consistently rounded. The lowercase is narrow and orderly, with single-storey forms where applicable and a simple, straight-descending “g” and “y”; numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect profile for an even, systematized texture.
Best suited to space-efficient headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a compact, vertical presence. It also works well for signage, packaging callouts, and interface labels where a condensed, structured sans can carry information densely while keeping a consistent rhythm.
The overall tone feels functional and engineered, with a slightly retro, signage-like voice. Its compressed proportions and squared curves evoke industrial labeling and technical interfaces rather than friendly editorial typography.
The design appears intended to maximize economy of width while preserving a clean, consistent skeleton. Its rounded-rect curves and uniform stroke treatment aim for a modern-industrial look that reads as precise and standardized across letters and numerals.
The superelliptical construction creates distinctive, boxy rounds in letters like C, G, O, Q and in digits such as 0 and 8, which helps maintain clarity at larger display sizes. The narrow counters and tight apertures suggest it benefits from comfortable tracking and line spacing when used in longer text.
