A condensed outlined sans with uniform stroke drawing and open interiors, giving each glyph a hollow, stencil-like presence without filled stems. Forms are largely constructed from straight verticals and horizontals with softened corners and occasional gentle curves in bowls, creating a tidy, engineered rhythm. Proportions are tall and compact, with narrow apertures and tight counters that stay consistent across the alphabet. Numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp contour logic, and the overall texture reads clean and evenly spaced when set in lines of text.
Best suited to display applications where the outlined construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, signage, and product labeling. It can work well for branding accents and packaging that benefit from a technical or industrial voice. For longer reading, it’s more effective as a highlight style or at larger sizes where the open counters and outline spacing stay clear.
The tone feels utilitarian and industrial, like lettering intended for labels, equipment, or architectural wayfinding. Its outline treatment adds a retro display flavor reminiscent of mid-century sign painting and technical drafting, while still reading modern and orderly. The narrow build keeps it punchy and economical, emphasizing verticality and precision.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, space-saving display sans that communicates precision and structure through an outline-only construction. Its consistent, engineered geometry suggests an intention to evoke technical lettering and signage while remaining visually neat and contemporary.
Diagonal letters (such as V, W, X, Y) keep sharp joins and straight sides, reinforcing a constructed, geometric character. Round letters (C, O, Q) are slightly squared-off, balancing warmth with a mechanical finish. The consistent contour thickness makes it especially dependent on size and contrast for legibility, with the outline effect becoming more prominent as the type gets larger.
