A tall, tightly set sans with a compact, vertical rhythm and largely monolinear strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic, giving bowls and counters a squarish, softened profile and a slightly mechanical finish. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtly rounded corners, and many forms rely on straight stems with small-radius joins, producing crisp, efficient silhouettes. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey structures (notably a and g) with narrow apertures, keeping the texture dense and consistent across text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where space is tight but impact is needed. It also works well for signage, labels, and editorial display settings that benefit from a condensed, high-density texture and consistent stroke weight.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and industrial, with a hint of retro signage due to the elongated proportions and softened rectangular curves. It reads as confident and direct rather than friendly, emphasizing efficiency and graphic impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and presence in narrow widths by combining tall proportions with a softened rectilinear geometry. Its consistent stroke treatment and compact counters suggest a focus on strong, repeatable shapes that hold up in bold, graphic applications.
In sample lines, the narrow proportions create a strong vertical cadence and conserve horizontal space, while the rounded-rect geometry keeps the color even and avoids sharp, spiky artifacts. Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction, matching the letterforms closely for a cohesive typographic palette.
