A tall, compact sans with superelliptical curves and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are mostly uniform with gentle modulation, and terminals tend to be squared-off with softened corners, producing a crisp yet approachable silhouette. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving the face a condensed, upright rhythm; joins and shoulders stay tight and controlled, while bowls and arches read as vertically stretched ovals. Numerals and capitals share the same narrow, engineered geometry, with a consistent, gridlike fit that holds up in stacked settings and headline lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding systems that want an engineered, condensed look without sharp edges. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging where compact letterforms help conserve horizontal space while keeping a sturdy, uniform texture.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, and mid-century display typography. Rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, but the compact forms and closed apertures maintain a serious, utilitarian voice.
The likely intention is a display sans that merges streamlined, modular geometry with softened corners for a modern-industrial feel. Its tall proportions and consistent superelliptical construction suggest it was drawn to create a strong, repeatable rhythm in titles and short text rather than long-form reading.
The design leans on repeated rounded-rectangle motifs, creating strong internal consistency across letters and digits. The tight spacing and narrow counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the distinctive geometry and rhythm become a feature rather than a constraint.
