A highly condensed, vertically oriented sans with monolinear strokes and softly rounded terminals. Counters are narrow and often rectangular in feel, producing a taut, column-like rhythm across words. Round letters (O, C, G) read as rounded rectangles/superellipse forms, while straight-sided shapes (H, N, M) emphasize parallel verticals; diagonals are restrained and tight. The lowercase keeps a tall x-height with compact bowls and short extenders, and punctuation adopts the same thin, upright geometry for a consistent texture.
Best suited to display sizes where its narrow build can fit long titles into tight widths—posters, mastheads, signage, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want a tall, compressed silhouette. It can also work for short subheads or labels when set with generous leading to prevent lines from visually merging.
The overall tone is disciplined and mechanical, with a streamlined, display-forward presence. Its tall, compressed proportions evoke vintage signage, Art Deco-era titling, and utilitarian industrial labeling, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to maximize vertical presence while conserving horizontal space, pairing strict, modular construction with rounded-rectangle curves for a cohesive, sign-painter-meets-industrial aesthetic.
In the sample text, spacing and word shape create a strong barcode-like texture; the design reads best when given ample tracking and line spacing. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical logic, supporting headings and condensed data-like settings where horizontal space is limited.
