A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and an even, low-contrast stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely flat, with minimal modulation and a steady vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to stay closed, producing a dense, emphatic texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and labels where space is tight and a strong presence is needed. It can also work for subheads and UI callouts when a condensed, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, industrial flavor. Its condensed stance and blocky rounding feel engineered and efficient, leaning more toward impact and clarity than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency while maintaining a clean, modern skeleton. The rounded-rectangular construction suggests a deliberate, systematic approach aimed at producing a robust, contemporary condensed sans for display use.
In the samples, the narrow set creates strong vertical emphasis and a compact word shape. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same sturdy, compressed logic, supporting consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
