A condensed geometric sans with consistently thin, monoline strokes and a strongly vertical stance. The letterforms are built from narrow stems and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves, producing compact counters in C, O, and U and smooth, softened corners rather than sharp terminals. Proportions are tightly drawn with long ascenders/descenders and an economical footprint, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y remain crisp and controlled. Numerals follow the same slim, elongated construction for a uniform rhythm across text and figures.
Well-suited to headlines and display settings where a narrow measure and tall rhythm help fit more characters into limited space. It can also work for branding, packaging, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a clean, modern voice and a compact typographic color.
The overall tone is contemporary and streamlined, with a refined, technical calm. Its narrow silhouettes and simple geometry feel efficient and metropolitan, leaning more toward understated sophistication than expressive warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, modern sans with smooth, superellipse-inspired curves and consistent stroke weight. Its focus is on clarity and style at larger sizes, creating an elegant vertical presence without ornamental features.
In the sample text, the condensed width creates a strong vertical cadence and compact word shapes, giving lines a tidy, column-like texture. Round forms stay vertically oriented and tight, and the punctuation/dots read small and precise, reinforcing the font’s restrained, minimalist character.
