A tightly condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and a strong vertical rhythm. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry: straight-sided bowls and counters with softened corners, producing a compact, mechanical look. Curves are controlled and squared-off rather than circular, and terminals appear clean and blunt, keeping texture even at display sizes. The overall silhouette is tall and narrow, with compact apertures and consistently narrow interior spaces.
Best suited to display settings where condensed impact is useful: headlines, posters, and logo/wordmark work, as well as packaging and signage that needs a tall, space-saving voice. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation items when a narrow footprint is required, but it is most effective in larger sizes and short bursts of text.
The font reads as sleek and urban, with a distinct Art Deco and signage flavor. Its disciplined geometry and compressed proportions give it an engineered, confident tone that feels modern, functional, and slightly retro.
Designed to deliver maximum vertical presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangular geometry to create a consistent, system-like alphabet. The intent appears to balance Deco-inspired elegance with a pragmatic, industrial clarity for modern display typography.
The lowercase set is notably tall relative to its width, and repeated vertical stems create a pronounced striped texture in words. Rounded-rectangular counters in letters like o, d, p, and q reinforce a coherent system across upper and lower case, while the numerals match the same tall, streamlined construction.
