A tall, tightly condensed sans with a uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into softly squared corners rather than perfect circles, giving bowls and terminals a superellipse feel. Proportions are elongated with narrow internal counters, and the rhythm is compact and vertical, producing a strong columnar texture in words. Uppercase forms are especially narrow, while lowercase remains similarly condensed with clean, simplified joins and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its condensed footprint and strong vertical rhythm help fit more characters without losing impact. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a modern, slightly retro industrial voice and compact word shapes.
The overall tone feels assertive and graphic, with a slightly playful oddity created by the squared-round curves and compressed proportions. It reads as contemporary-industrial with a retro display flavor, making text feel energetic and attention-forward rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow width by combining monoline strokes with rounded-rectangle forms for a distinctive, consistent silhouette. Its geometry suggests an emphasis on display clarity and stylistic cohesion rather than quiet, text-first neutrality.
The font’s distinctive character comes from the consistent rounded-rectangle geometry across letters and numerals, which creates a cohesive, engineered look. In longer lines, the condensed set and tight forms emphasize verticality and can feel poster-like, especially at larger sizes.
