A tall, compact sans with strongly compressed proportions and a tight horizontal footprint. Strokes read largely monolinear with slight optical modulation, and terminals are clean and squared-off rather than tapered. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic, giving counters a controlled, superelliptical feel—especially in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p/d/q. The lowercase has a straightforward, utilitarian construction with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a small ear, and a short, efficient “t,” all designed to keep color dense and vertical. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright rhythm, with simple, legible forms and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where limited horizontal space calls for strong vertical emphasis. It also fits branding systems and packaging that benefit from compact wordmarks and a confident, modern tone. In editorial layouts, it can provide high-impact hierarchy and dense, attention-grabbing titles.
The overall tone is strong and no-nonsense, with a condensed presence that feels contemporary and slightly industrial. Its dense vertical rhythm conveys urgency and authority, making text look punchy and compressed without becoming decorative. The rounded-rectangle curvature softens the severity just enough to keep it approachable for modern branding and editorial use.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans with disciplined geometry and a contemporary, rounded-rectilinear skeleton. It prioritizes vertical rhythm and uniform texture while keeping counters open enough to remain readable at typical display sizes.
The design maintains consistent narrow spacing expectations and a steady vertical stress, producing a dark, even texture in paragraphs. Round letters retain generous internal counters for the width, helping legibility in tightly set headlines, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/I/L/T) reinforce a crisp, architectural cadence.
