A compact, tall sans with strongly condensed proportions and mostly even stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptic feel, while terminals are clean and blunt. The narrow set width and tight internal spacing create a firm vertical rhythm; diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are steep and efficient, and round letters like O/C/G read as softened rectangles rather than true circles. Numerals follow the same condensed, monoline construction, with simple, legible forms and minimal detailing.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and signage where horizontal space is limited and a strong vertical presence is desirable. It can also work well for compact branding lockups and packaging systems that need a consistent, tightly packed typographic voice.
The overall tone is crisp and functional, with an industrial, signage-like directness. Its tall, compressed stance feels contemporary and assertive, leaning more toward utilitarian clarity than warmth or calligraphic expression.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a narrow footprint, combining a strict condensed structure with softened rectangular curves to stay readable and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Because of the extreme condensation, the texture becomes dense quickly in longer lines; it visually favors short bursts of text where the vertical rhythm can read as intentional. The rounded-rect geometry helps keep counters open despite the tight width, contributing to a clean, engineered look.
