A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and mostly straight-sided stems. Curves are squared-off into rounded-rectangle bowls, giving round letters a superelliptical, slightly mechanical feel. Strokes are even and unmodulated, terminals are clean, and counters stay relatively open despite the narrow width. The rhythm is vertical and compact, with simplified joins and restrained detailing that keeps forms crisp at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and space-constrained layouts where a compact footprint is needed. It also works well for branding, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a clean, modern condensed voice and high information density.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with a subtle industrial edge created by its narrow stance and rounded-rectangle curves. It feels efficient and orderly rather than expressive, projecting clarity, control, and a no-nonsense modernity.
Likely designed to provide an efficient, condensed sans for display and UI-like applications where vertical economy and immediate legibility are priorities, while adding a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry to differentiate it from neutral grotesks.
The condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis and dense word shapes, while the rounded-square bowls prevent the texture from feeling overly sharp. Numerals and capitals follow the same compact, straight-sided logic, supporting consistent typographic color in mixed settings.
