A tightly condensed sans with towering proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle contrast, and corners often resolve into rounded-rectangle curves rather than pure circles, giving round letters an oblong, superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and squared-off, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with narrow sidebearings and dense texture in words. Numerals follow the same condensed construction, reading tall and structured with simplified, compact apertures.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and compact editorial titling where a strong vertical emphasis helps fit more characters per line. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from an efficient, condensed voice and consistent, high-impact word shapes.
The font conveys a confident, utilitarian tone with a distinctly contemporary, display-forward presence. Its compressed width and tall silhouette feel assertive and efficient, evoking modern signage, editorial headlines, and industrial labeling where space is at a premium.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in narrow spaces by combining a condensed skeleton with clean, squared terminals and superelliptical rounding. It aims for a modern, engineered look that stays visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
In running text the narrow forms create a strong vertical cadence and a dark, even color, especially in mixed-case lines. The rounded-rectangle shaping keeps the design from feeling rigidly geometric, adding a soft mechanical character while preserving crisp edges.
