A condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and strongly rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are tightened into superelliptic bowls and capsule-like counters, while corners and joins are consistently softened. The vertical rhythm is dominant, with tall proportions, compact sidebearings, and a steady, even color in text. Terminals tend to be blunt and rounded rather than tapered, giving letters a sturdy, engineered presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for signage and labels thanks to its straightforward forms and consistent stroke weight, especially when space is limited.
The overall tone feels retro-industrial and utilitarian, recalling mid‑century display lettering and practical labeling systems. Its narrow, upright stance reads efficient and space-saving, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears designed to deliver a space-efficient display sans with a distinctive rounded-rect geometry—prioritizing a strong silhouette, consistent rhythm, and an unmistakably condensed profile for attention-grabbing typography.
The design leans on repeated modular shapes across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive, almost stencil-like regularity without obvious breaks. In sample text, the narrow fit and uniform strokes create a dense, confident texture that favors shorter line lengths and strong typographic hierarchy.
