A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and a compact, vertical rhythm. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters and bowls a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with subtle corner rounding that keeps the silhouette crisp while avoiding sharp joins. The overall construction feels geometric and engineered, with consistent stroke weight and narrow proportions that emphasize height and density.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a compact, space-saving word shape with strong presence. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and packaging where a tall condensed style helps maximize information density while maintaining a clean, engineered look.
The tone is utilitarian and modern, leaning toward industrial and technical contexts. Its condensed, squared-rounded forms suggest machinery, labeling, and digital interfaces—confident and no-nonsense rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, space-efficient sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton for a contemporary industrial feel. It prioritizes consistent stroke behavior and a strong vertical cadence for impactful display typography in modern visual systems.
The narrow set and compact apertures create strong vertical texture in text, making it visually assertive at display sizes. Rounded corners help maintain clarity in tight shapes, while the uniform stroke weight keeps the voice steady across letters and numerals.
