A tall, tightly condensed sans with compact proportions and a steady vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast, and terminals read clean and squared-off rather than tapered. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a slightly superelliptical feel, especially in C, O, and lowercases like o and e. The uppercase is narrow and commanding, while the lowercase shows simple, utilitarian shapes with a single-storey a and g and an overall compact, high-waisted look. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with narrow widths and clear, straightforward construction.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and display settings where a condensed footprint is useful and impact is needed. It can work for branding and packaging that wants a modern, streamlined voice, and for signage or wayfinding where tall, compact forms help fit text into narrow spaces.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a streamlined, industrial voice. Its compressed stance and crisp geometry convey efficiency and impact, suggesting editorial urgency and modern signage rather than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular curves for a clean, contemporary display sans. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent rhythm for attention-grabbing typographic color at larger sizes.
Spacing appears tuned for dense setting: narrow letterforms with relatively tight sidebearings create a continuous, vertical texture in text. Rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid construction, helping large sizes feel less mechanical while retaining a strong, graphic presence.
