A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes read largely monolinear, with subtly rounded outer corners and squared-off terminals that create a rounded-rectangle feel in bowls and counters. Curves are controlled and taut (not fully circular), and interior apertures stay narrow, giving the design a dense, efficient texture in text. Lowercase forms follow a straightforward, modern construction with minimal modulation; the numerals match the same narrow, upright stance for consistent color across mixed copy.
Best suited for headlines and short display copy where a strong vertical silhouette and high information density are useful—posters, signage, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for subheads and interface labels when space is tight and a firm, condensed tone is desired.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and punchy—confident, direct, and a bit retro in its condensed signage-like presence. Its narrow, upright stance and firm terminals suggest clarity and discipline rather than softness, making it read as purposeful and attention-forward.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in narrow widths while keeping a clean, contemporary surface. Rounded-rectilinear geometry and consistent stroke behavior aim for a cohesive, industrial-modern look that holds up in large sizes and compact layouts.
Letterforms show consistent rounding at corners without becoming soft or playful, and the tight apertures add a slightly mechanical, engineered character. The condensed spacing and tall ascenders/descenders create strong vertical emphasis, helping lines stack with a crisp, high-impact texture.
