A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. Vertical stems dominate, terminals are clean and unbracketed, and the overall rhythm is compact with consistent stroke weight and minimal contrast. The lowercase is narrow with short extenders and a straightforward, utilitarian skeleton, while the numerals match the same compressed, rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive texture.
Well suited to headlines and display settings where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, packaging, wayfinding, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short informational lines—labels, UI headers, and captions—when spacing is tuned to avoid a cramped texture.
The tone is efficient and architectural: clean, compressed, and slightly retro in the way its rounded-square curves echo mid-century signage and industrial labeling. Its narrow stance and firm stroke weight read as confident and purposeful, with a streamlined, contemporary edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-impact sans that preserves warmth through rounded-rectangle curves while maintaining a disciplined, engineered structure. It prioritizes a strong vertical presence and consistent geometry for clear, repeatable display typography.
At text sizes the tight fit and condensed proportions create a dense gray value, making it feel best when given breathing room via tracking and generous line spacing. The rounded-square bowls maintain clarity and consistency across letters and figures, reinforcing a strongly systematized look.
