A tall, tightly set sans with a compressed footprint and a consistent monoline stroke. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and terminals, creating a rectilinear-yet-soft geometry throughout. Counters are narrow and vertical, and the overall rhythm is disciplined and even, with rounded corners preventing the forms from feeling harsh. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, narrow construction, and the numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangular logic for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited for display roles where a condensed, high-impact voice is useful—posters, headlines, signage, and branding marks that need a tall, economical presence. It can also work for short bursts of text (labels, packaging copy, UI headings) when a clean, stylized tone is desired, but the narrow counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
The font reads as retro-modern and slightly futuristic, evoking mid-century signage and streamlined industrial design. Its narrow, upright stance feels efficient and technical, while the softened corners add a friendly, approachable edge. The overall tone is sleek and graphic, with a subtle quirky character in the compressed proportions.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangular skeleton. By combining strict vertical proportions with softened corners and uniform stroke weight, it aims for a modernized retro aesthetic that remains clean, consistent, and highly recognizable in display settings.
Because the forms are so narrow and the counters are tight, the type creates a strong vertical emphasis and a distinctive striped texture in longer lines. The rounded-rectangle construction gives it a consistent, system-like feel that stays recognizable across letters and figures.
