A tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. Many forms are built from straight sides with rounded corners, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely squared-off, and the overall rhythm is compact with narrow apertures and restrained curvature. The x-height reads tall for the width, contributing to a dense, stacked texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a compact width and strong vertical stance help maximize impact in limited space. It also fits labeling, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a condensed, utilitarian sans with clear, sturdy forms.
The tone is direct and pragmatic, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed proportions and squared-soft geometry feel contemporary and slightly institutional, suited to attention-getting, matter-of-fact messaging rather than delicate or expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans built from simplified, rounded-rectangular geometry. It prioritizes space efficiency and visual punch, producing a consistent, modern texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals such as 0/8 show the rounded-rectangle construction clearly, while diagonals in A/V/W/X keep sharp, architectural joins. The narrow internal spaces and tight sidebearings make the face feel economical and space-saving, especially in all-caps settings.
