A tall, tightly condensed sans with largely monoline strokes and a compact, vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse logic, producing oval counters and softly squared bowls rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with crisp joins and minimal modulation; the overall texture stays even in text. Proportions emphasize height over width, yielding narrow apertures and economical letterfit, while maintaining clear internal counters in forms like O, D, P, and a.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial titling where horizontal space is limited and a strong vertical presence is desired. It can also work for branding and packaging systems that benefit from a tight, modern wordmark style, and for short UI labels where a condensed footprint is useful.
The font reads as efficient and contemporary, with an engineered, no-nonsense voice. Its condensed stance and clean geometry lend an urban, industrial tone suited to structured layouts and information-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans that remains orderly and legible at display sizes. Its rounded-rectangular curves and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on a cohesive, geometric voice that performs well in structured typographic systems.
Uppercase shapes are particularly tall and compact, creating strong vertical emphasis in headlines. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, with simple, readable silhouettes that align well with the letterforms in weight and spacing.
