A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are generally even with subtle modulation, and terminals are clean with softly rounded corners that give the forms a superelliptical feel rather than purely geometric circles. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean toward closed, helping letters hold together in narrow settings. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and straightforward, sturdy shapes; figures are similarly narrow and upright, with a simple, open-top 4 and a plain, condensed 1.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, packaging, and signage where a lot of characters must fit into limited horizontal space. It also works well for labels, navigation, and UI moments that benefit from a compact, high-impact sans, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with a slight retro-industrial flavor coming from the tall, compressed stance and rounded-rectangle geometry. It feels disciplined and efficient, while the softened corners keep it from reading harsh or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum economy of width without sacrificing clarity, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms approachable and consistent. It targets compact display and titling situations where a tight, vertical cadence and clean silhouettes are priorities.
In text, the condensed spacing and narrow counters create a dense texture that suits short lines and stacked settings. The rounded joins and consistent vertical stems give the font a cohesive, sign-like regularity across both uppercase and lowercase.
