A compact, vertically oriented sans with monoline strokes and strongly condensed proportions. Curves tend to resolve into squared, rounded-rectangle shapes, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight, with occasional gentle rounding at joins, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. The overall texture is tight and even, with narrow apertures and a consistent, upright stance across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to headlines and display settings where saving horizontal space is valuable, such as posters, packaging panels, and product labeling. Its disciplined forms also fit signage and wayfinding systems that benefit from a straightforward, no-nonsense voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the tight proportions and compact apertures remain clear.
The font projects a practical, industrial tone—clean, controlled, and contemporary rather than expressive. Its compressed silhouette and squared-round curves evoke wayfinding, labeling, and utilitarian modernism, keeping the voice neutral and authoritative. The result feels efficient and space-conscious, with a subtle technical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient sans with a clean, technical personality, blending strict vertical structure with squared-round curves for a distinctive but restrained look. It prioritizes consistent stroke behavior and a compact footprint to produce an even, modern typographic color.
In the samples, the narrow set width creates dense word shapes and strong vertical cadence, which can emphasize headlines and compact layouts. Round letters like O/C/G and lowercase bowls appear more rectangular than geometric, while stems remain straight and rigid, reinforcing a structured, manufactured character.
