A condensed, monoline sans with a tall, tightly packed silhouette and rounded-rectangle construction in the curves. Strokes stay even and firm, with straight-sided verticals and controlled, squared-off terminals that read crisp at display sizes. Rounded forms like C, O, and G lean toward superelliptical geometry—more like softened rectangles than true circles—creating a consistent, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and vertical stress is emphasized, while the numerals follow the same narrow, blocky logic for a unified alphanumeric texture.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding moments where space is tight but impact is needed. Its narrow footprint and sturdy forms also make it effective for signage, packaging callouts, and editorial display text where a clean, modern voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with an industrial, signage-like clarity. Its narrow build and assertive stroke give it a confident, editorial presence that feels contemporary and slightly mechanical rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans that remains orderly and consistent through a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes strong vertical presence and clear, uniform shapes for confident display typography.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical momentum and allow long lines to stay compact. The curvature is deliberately restrained, producing a clean, structured texture with minimal ornamentation and a clear, uniform cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
