A tall, tightly drawn sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared-round construction: bowls and curves read like rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with minimal modulation, giving the letters a crisp, engineered feel. Counters are compact and vertical, and the overall rhythm is narrow and columnar, with consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase forms are tall with short extenders relative to the x-height, producing an efficient, stacked texture in text.
This style is well suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where a condensed footprint is helpful, such as posters, mastheads, packaging panels, and brand wordmarks. Its clear, monoline structure also fits wayfinding and signage applications, especially where a modern, industrial flavor is desired.
The font conveys a streamlined, metropolitan tone—clean, utilitarian, and a bit retro in its condensed display posture. Its squared curves and tall silhouettes suggest signage and industrial labeling, while the smooth rounding keeps it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it feels contemporary, functional, and slightly stylized without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed sans with a distinctive squared-round skeleton, balancing utilitarian clarity with a recognizable geometric personality. It prioritizes consistent construction and a strong vertical rhythm for impactful display typography.
Round letters like O/Q/C and the bowls in B/P/R show a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry that stays consistent throughout. Diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are sharp and stable, and the numerals keep the same tall, condensed stance for a uniform typographic color. In longer lines, the narrow proportions create strong vertical emphasis and a dense, poster-like texture.
