A tall, tightly set sans with extremely condensed proportions and consistent stroke thickness. Letterforms are built from straight verticals and rounded-rectangle curves, giving counters and terminals a superelliptical, softly squared feel. Curves are compact and controlled (notably in C, O, Q, and S), while joins stay clean and restrained; overall rhythm is vertical and linear with clear, open interior spaces despite the narrow width. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow, rounded-rect geometry, producing a coherent, engineered texture in text.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium lines where a compact, high-impact vertical rhythm is useful—posters, branding wordmarks, signage, and packaging. It can also work for interface labels or navigation where space is constrained, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the narrow detailing.
The font reads as sleek and efficient, with a slightly retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of mid‑century display lettering and contemporary UI minimalism. Its narrow stance and rounded-rect curves suggest precision and modernity rather than warmth or calligraphy.
Likely intended as a space-saving condensed sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction, balancing a modern utilitarian feel with a subtle vintage display influence. The consistent stroke and controlled curves aim for clarity, uniformity, and a recognizable silhouette.
The design’s signature is its capsule-like rounding and squared-off curvature, which keeps round letters from feeling circular. In running text the tight width creates a strong vertical cadence and a compact footprint, while the uniform strokes maintain a steady, even color.
