A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strongly rectilinear construction. Curves are minimized and often squared off, with rounded forms like O/Q rendered as narrow, boxy outlines. Terminals tend to be blunt and flat, and many joins resolve into crisp right angles, giving the alphabet a sleek, engineered rhythm. Counters are small and vertical, and the overall texture stays airy and linear even in longer text.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, titles, and punchy headlines where condensed vertical rhythm is an advantage. It can also work for logotypes and packaging that want a sleek, technical or retro-modern feel, especially when set with generous tracking. For dense body copy, its compressed counters and tall proportions are likely to reduce comfort and clarity.
The design reads as precise and utilitarian, with a cool, streamlined presence. Its narrow, architectural shapes evoke retro-futurist and Art Deco–adjacent display lettering while still feeling contemporary and technical. The tone is clean and controlled rather than friendly or expressive.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice through geometric, squared-off construction and restrained, monoline drawing. The emphasis is on vertical economy and a crisp, architectural silhouette that stands out in short phrases and branding-led typography.
Distinctive details include the squared oval treatment in O/Q/0 and the consistently narrow internal spaces, which emphasize verticality. The set feels optimized for impact at larger sizes where its sharp corners and compressed proportions remain clear; at small sizes, the tight counters and thin strokes may soften or fill in depending on reproduction.
