A tall, tightly spaced condensed sans with even, near-monoline strokes and squared-off curves that read as rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms. The geometry is compact and vertical, with narrow bowls and counters, straight-sided stems, and terminals that feel cleanly cut rather than tapered. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q keep a boxy roundness, while joins and shoulders stay controlled and minimal, producing a crisp, consistent rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited to space-constrained settings where you need to fit more characters per line, such as headlines, subheads, posters, and vertical layouts. Its sturdy, compact structure also works for signage, labels, and packaging where a clear, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone is efficient and matter-of-fact, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and newspaper headlines. Its compact width and rigid geometry give it a disciplined, no-nonsense voice that feels modern yet slightly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum economy of width while keeping a clean, systematic sans voice. The rounded-rectangle curvature and strict upright build suggest a focus on consistent geometry and a strong, condensed presence for display typography.
In text, the condensed proportions create a strong vertical texture and pronounced word shapes, especially where rounded-rectangle curves repeat across letters. The numerals match the same condensed stance and simplified construction, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
