A tall, tightly condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves read as superelliptical, with softened corners and compact counters that stay open enough for display use. Stems are straight and sturdy, terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with slight rounding, and joins are kept simple to preserve a strong vertical rhythm. Overall spacing is economical and the silhouette is blocky yet refined, giving the alphabet a uniform, engineered texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where space is limited and impact is needed—posters, signage, packaging callouts, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for compact UI labels or charts when set with sufficient size and line spacing.
The tone is functional and urban—confident, compact, and slightly industrial. Its narrow stance and squared-round geometry evoke signage and labeling systems, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh or purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry and steady stroke weight to maintain clarity and consistency. It prioritizes a strong vertical rhythm and a clean, system-like look suitable for modern display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially uniform and columnar, creating a strong headline stripe. Lowercase retains the same condensed DNA with straightforward bowls and minimal modulation, and the numerals match the tall, compressed proportions for consistent texture in data-heavy lines.
