This typeface is a tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and strongly condensed proportions. Curves are drawn with rounded-rectangle logic rather than perfect circles, giving counters and bowls a slightly squared softness. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with consistent stroke endings and little to no flare. The lowercase is compact and straightforward, with a short-armed r, a simple single-storey g, and a narrow s; punctuation and numerals follow the same restrained, condensed rhythm.
It performs best in display contexts where space is limited and a tall condensed voice is desirable—headlines, poster typography, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and brand systems that need a compact yet modern sans. It can also work for short bursts of text such as captions, labels, and UI headings where a narrow measure is advantageous.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, balancing a friendly roundedness with a disciplined, engineered feel. Its narrow stance and even color suggest efficiency and order, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor often associated with condensed signage and editorial headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed sans that remains readable and consistent by using even strokes and superelliptical rounding. Its geometry prioritizes a uniform vertical rhythm and a controlled, contemporary texture suitable for modern layouts and identity work.
Round letters like O and Q read as vertically oriented superellipses, and the Q adds a succinct diagonal tail that stays within the tight footprint. Diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and stable, while joins remain clean, avoiding calligraphic modulation. The spacing in the sample text reinforces a compact texture that stays uniform across mixed-case settings.
