A compact, tall sans with an emphatically vertical build and tightly controlled sidebearings. Strokes read as consistently heavy and even, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves that keep bowls and counters smooth while preserving a squared-off, engineered feel. Capitals are narrow and towering, with simple, blunt terminals; round letters like C, O, and Q stay boxy-rounded rather than circular. Lowercase follows the same condensed rhythm, with sturdy stems, short arms, and compact bowls; numerals are similarly narrow and robust, designed to hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It also fits wayfinding and labeling applications that benefit from a condensed, high-density look, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with a workmanlike, industrial clarity. Its compressed proportions and firm geometry suggest efficiency and control, lending a contemporary, no-nonsense voice to headlines and labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow width, using superelliptical forms to balance softness with structural rigidity. It prioritizes a strong, uniform texture and compact word shapes for modern, space-efficient display setting.
The typeface maintains a consistent geometric logic across curves and straight segments, producing a steady texture in lines of text. Tight apertures and compact counters increase density, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect legibility in longer passages.
