A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a monoline stroke, drawn with softly rounded corners and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and curves tend to resolve into straightened sides rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, with occasional ink-trap-like notches where diagonals or joints meet, helping keep interior spaces open at small apertures. Numerals follow the same vertical rhythm, with compact, stacked shapes and consistent stroke weight across straight and curved segments.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where vertical economy and impact are priorities. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefit from a compact, industrial-modern voice, especially in short-to-medium text runs where the dense rhythm becomes a stylistic feature.
The overall tone is strong, efficient, and contemporary, with a utilitarian confidence that reads well in bold, attention-seeking settings. Its condensed stance and squared curves evoke industrial signage and modern poster typography, leaning more functional than friendly.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals to stay bold and legible while maintaining a clean, contemporary silhouette.
The design’s narrow counters and vertical emphasis create a dense texture in longer words, while the rounded-rectangle geometry keeps it from feeling brittle. Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm with clear ascenders and compact bowls.
