A tall, tightly set sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened terminals. Strokes stay largely consistent in thickness, while forms rely on narrow vertical stems and compact, squared-off bowls that read like superelliptic shapes. Counters are small and often vertically oriented, giving letters a packed, columnar rhythm; round characters (O, C, G) appear more like rounded boxes than true circles. The lowercase shows simple, utilitarian shapes with single-storey a and g, short crossbars, and a generally streamlined, uniform texture.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its condensed, rounded geometry can deliver impact without becoming cramped. It works well for posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and signage systems that benefit from a tall, space-saving presence and strong, consistent silhouettes.
The overall tone feels retro-modern and a bit industrial, echoing mid‑century display lettering and signage. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded geometry create a confident, punchy voice that can feel both friendly and mechanical depending on context.
The design appears aimed at creating a condensed display sans with a rounded-rectilinear skeleton—optimized for bold presence, tight horizontal economy, and a distinctive, period-leaning character.
Distinctive numerals and a compact punctuation style reinforce the display intent, with shapes that prioritize strong silhouettes over delicate detail. The font maintains a steady vertical emphasis, making lines look tidy and poster-ready, especially at larger sizes.
