A compact, condensed sans with rounded terminals and subtly squared curves that give it a sturdy, slightly industrial feel. Strokes stay largely consistent, with gentle modulation mainly coming from the curvature and tight joins rather than true contrast. Counters are relatively small but generally open enough to keep letters distinguishable at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is tall, narrow, and tightly spaced. Numerals follow the same compact geometry, with rounded turns and firm, vertical posture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a compact, space-saving width is valuable—posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for subheads or UI elements that need a condensed, high-impact look, though very small sizes may feel dense due to tight counters.
The tone is direct and practical, with a hint of retro signage character. Its narrow proportions and firm shapes create a confident, no-nonsense voice, while the rounded endings keep it approachable rather than severe.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, balancing a straightforward sans structure with softened, rounded details for readability and approachability. Its consistent stroke behavior and compact geometry suggest an emphasis on clarity and visual economy in display-oriented settings.
The design leans on straight verticals paired with rounded bowls, producing a consistent silhouette across uppercase and lowercase. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the sample emphasizes strong word shapes and steady texture in continuous text.
