A tightly condensed sans with tall, compact letterforms and a consistent, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than circular. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with rounded joins that keep the texture smooth despite the dense proportions. Spacing is economical and the overall rhythm is vertical and columnar, producing a strong, uniform text color in lines of copy.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where space is limited and punch is needed—posters, signage, packaging, labels, and bold brand lockups. It can work for brief UI or editorial accents, but its dense texture and tight apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font reads as modern and functional with a subtle retro-industrial flavor, like signage and product labeling. Its narrow build and sturdy strokes feel efficient and confident, projecting clarity and urgency without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a strong condensed silhouette with softened superelliptical curves for a controlled, contemporary finish.
Counters are relatively small for the heavy, condensed build, which increases impact at display sizes and tight settings. The rounded-rectangle construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving a cohesive, engineered tone.
