A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact counters, built from straight verticals and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes read largely monolinear with subtle optical modulation in joins and curves, giving a crisp, engineered texture. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, while rounded forms (C/O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R) keep a soft rectangular geometry rather than true circles. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian construction; the single-storey a and the long, straight stems contribute to an efficient rhythm in text. Numerals match the narrow footprint and vertical emphasis, producing a consistent, columnar feel.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where a condensed footprint is helpful. It can work well for packaging, branding systems, and signage that needs a strong vertical rhythm and compact width, especially when short phrases must fit into narrow columns.
The overall tone is bold and urban: compact, no-nonsense, and slightly retro in a poster/industrial way. Its narrow stance and rigid verticality create urgency and impact, while the rounded-rectangle curves keep it from feeling harsh or overly technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a strict vertical structure with softened rectangular curves for a recognizable, contemporary voice.
Spacing appears deliberately tight for display impact, with pronounced vertical emphasis in words and strong dark texture in lines of copy. The design’s rounded-rectangular bowls and squared inner corners give it a distinctive, branded silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
