A compact, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Vertical stems dominate, with small apertures and neatly controlled curves that read as superelliptic rather than purely circular. Terminals are clean and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is tall and compressed, producing strong color in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow footprint and rounded interior geometry, giving a consistent, engineered feel across the set.
Best suited to display applications where space is limited and impact is needed: headlines, posters, packaging callouts, mastheads, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short bursts of interface labeling or data headers where a narrow footprint is valuable, though longer text will read dense due to the compressed width and tight internal spaces.
The tone is efficient and no-nonsense, with a subtly retro, industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and utilitarian labeling. Its narrow, emphatic silhouettes feel assertive and space-saving, projecting clarity and discipline rather than softness or whimsy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed skeleton with rounded-rectangular forms for a modern-industrial look. It prioritizes uniform stroke behavior and consistent internal geometry to keep letterforms cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In the text sample, the tight proportions create a strong vertical cadence and dark typographic color, especially in mixed-case lines. Round letters (like O/Q/0) show distinctly squared curves, while joins and shoulders stay firm and controlled, helping the face hold up in large display settings where compactness matters.
