A condensed sans with a compact, vertical build and a monoline feel. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls, giving counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely flat, with minimal modulation and tight interior spaces; the overall rhythm is uniform and stacked, with tall ascenders/short arms that keep letters narrow and efficient. Figures follow the same compressed, rounded-rect geometry, reading clearly in straight, upright forms.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is required: headlines, posters, wayfinding and signage, packaging fronts, labels, and mastheads. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation when a compact, high-contrast-in-silhouette word shape is desirable, though longer text will benefit from increased spacing.
The tone is assertive and functional, with a no-nonsense, industrial presence. Its compressed proportions and squared-round curves suggest a retro signage and display sensibility—confident, compact, and slightly mechanical rather than friendly or calligraphic.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in narrow horizontal space, pairing strong verticality with softened, squared-round forms for a modern-industrial look. The consistent stroke weight and simplified detailing prioritize clarity and repeatable rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters like O/C/G show boxy, softened bowls, while joins and shoulders stay crisp to preserve legibility in narrow widths. The font’s tight apertures and dense black shape create strong color on the line, making it most impactful when given breathing room in tracking and leading.
