A compact, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are squared-off with softened corners, giving counters a tall, narrow, capsule-like feel. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and the geometry produces strong vertical rhythm with minimal horizontal expansion. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey shapes where applicable and small, clean dots on i/j; numerals follow the same narrow, squared-curve logic for a consistent, sign-like texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where space is tight but impact is needed. It works well for branded wordmarks, labels, and short callouts, and can serve as a distinctive UI/display accent when used sparingly.
The overall tone feels assertive and engineered—more like industrial labeling than delicate editorial typography. Its condensed, blocky silhouettes read as retro-modern and slightly mechanical, bringing a confident, no-nonsense voice that suits bold messaging and utilitarian branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical shapes to combine a modern geometric feel with a subtly retro, industrial character. The consistent monoline treatment and blunt terminals reinforce clarity and sturdiness in display settings.
At text sizes the condensed width creates a dense gray value and emphasizes vertical cadence; spacing appears tuned for impact rather than airy readability. The rounded-square geometry keeps the font friendly enough for display while maintaining a disciplined, structured look.
