A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rectilinear, rounded-corner construction. Curves are rendered as squarish bowls and superellipse-like ovals, producing compact counters and a tight, even rhythm. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation; joins and shoulders stay crisp while corners soften just enough to keep the texture from feeling sharp. Proportions emphasize height and narrowness, and the numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, engineered geometry that reads well at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding where space is limited but impact is needed. The condensed build works for signage, labels, and packaging systems that require a strong, consistent typographic block. It can also serve as a distinctive display companion in editorial layouts when used in short text runs or pull quotes.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, with a hint of mid-century signage and packaging. Its tight width and rounded-rectangle forms create an efficient, modernist voice that is confident and slightly retro without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a strong, engineered feel, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay legible and cohesive at larger sizes. It prioritizes uniform stroke behavior and compact proportions to create a bold, efficient typographic voice for display and branding contexts.
Round letters like O, C, and G lean toward squared bowls, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) are sturdy rather than delicate. The lowercase maintains a compact, workmanlike texture, and the spacing appears tuned to keep the condensed forms from clashing, yielding a dense but controlled color in paragraphs.
