This typeface is a condensed, monoline sans with a strong vertical rhythm and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like shapes, giving bowls and terminals a softened, squared-off feel rather than purely circular geometry. Strokes remain even throughout, with crisp joins and small, consistent radii at corners; counters stay relatively open despite the narrow set width. The overall texture is tall and airy, with generous sidebearings kept in check by the condensed design and a clear, simplified construction across letters and numerals.
It performs best in display contexts where a condensed footprint is useful: headlines, posters, packaging, and signage that needs to fit more characters per line without losing clarity. The even stroke and clean shapes also make it suitable for short UI labels, navigation, and titling where a sleek, space-saving sans is desired.
The tone reads modern and restrained, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of streamlined signage and mid-century display lettering. Its narrow stance and rounded geometry feel efficient and engineered, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears aimed at a space-efficient, highly legible narrow sans with a distinctive rounded-rect geometry, balancing a technical, constructed feel with softened corners for a contemporary, friendly finish.
Uppercase forms emphasize height and clarity, while lowercase shapes keep a simple, single-storey feel in several letters, reinforcing the geometric, pared-down system. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic, producing a uniform, vertical cadence well-suited to tight settings.
