A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and gently rounded corners that give curves a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Letterforms are narrow with straight-sided verticals, compact bowls, and mostly squared-off curves, producing a crisp, economical rhythm. Counters stay fairly open for the width, and terminals are clean and unadorned, with smooth joins and consistent stroke behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This style works well where space is tight but a strong vertical presence is desired: headlines, posters, and packaging panels benefit from its condensed footprint and even color. It also fits wayfinding and interface labeling, where clean strokes and simplified shapes help maintain clarity in compact line lengths.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, balancing a technical, signage-like clarity with a soft friendliness from the rounded geometry. Its narrow build reads efficient and urban, suited to contemporary systems that prioritize order and space economy.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed voice with a softened geometric framework—prioritizing efficient width, consistent texture, and a disciplined, system-friendly look that remains approachable through rounded forms.
Capitals are notably tall with simple construction, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, functional cadence. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectilinear logic, maintaining consistent color in text settings and a tidy, organized texture in display sizes.
