A condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes read as largely monoline, with minimal contrast and squared-off terminals that stay clean at the ends. Curves are built from tightened, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters an oval-to-superellipse feel in letters like O, C, and G. The lowercase has a high x-height relative to the ascenders, and the overall silhouette is vertical and efficient, with narrow bowls and tightly contained apertures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where vertical emphasis and space efficiency matter. It works well for posters, packaging, mastheads, and signage systems that need a strong condensed voice and clear, uniform texture. For longer passages, it will be more comfortable at larger sizes where the tight proportions can breathe.
The tone is direct and functional, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor typical of condensed display sans styles. Its tight spacing and tall shapes create urgency and impact without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a condensed footprint with simplified, sturdy forms. Its rounded-rectangle curves and firm terminals suggest a goal of modern clarity with a hint of vintage display character.
The numeral set matches the condensed stance, with narrow figures that keep strong vertical alignment. The overall construction favors consistent widths and straight sides, while rounded corners keep the texture from becoming harsh.
