A tall, compact sans with uniform stroke weight and a tightly packed, vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with subtle rounding at corners that keeps the texture consistent across straight and curved forms. The overall color is dark and even, with narrow apertures and crisp interior cutouts that hold up in dense settings.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and packaging where a strong, space-saving condensed look is needed. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style layouts thanks to its consistent stroke weight and crisp, engineered forms. In longer text, it’s best used at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing to offset the narrow proportions and tight apertures.
The tone feels utilitarian and engineered—more at home in contemporary systems than in expressive or calligraphic contexts. Its condensed stance and squared softness evoke industrial labeling, transit graphics, and a lightly retro-futurist sensibility without becoming decorative. The result is assertive and efficient, prioritizing clarity and space economy.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact condensed sans built from rounded-rectangular geometry, balancing a strict, technical structure with softened corners for a contemporary, approachable edge. The emphasis appears to be on dense typographic economy and consistent, system-like rhythm across letters and numerals.
Figures and letters share the same condensed DNA, producing a cohesive typographic system for mixed alphanumeric strings. The rounded-rectangle construction adds friendliness compared to purely squared grotesques, while the tight spacing and narrow openings keep the voice disciplined and matter-of-fact.
