A highly condensed sans with tall, slim proportions and a disciplined, vertical rhythm. Strokes stay mostly even with a subtle contrast, and curves are built from rounded-rectangular (superellipse-like) geometry rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are clean and straight, counters are relatively narrow, and the overall spacing feels tight and efficient, giving text a compact, column-friendly texture. The lowercase shows straightforward, functional shapes with a simple single-storey-style construction where applicable, and the numerals share the same narrow, upright stance for a consistent line color.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and title treatments where conserving horizontal space is important. It also fits posters, packaging, and signage systems that need a compact, high-impact sans with a controlled, contemporary voice. In paragraphs it can work for tight editorial layouts, though the dense texture favors larger sizes and generous leading.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with an editorial clarity that reads as composed rather than playful. Its compressed stance adds urgency and efficiency, while the rounded-rectangular curvature softens the austerity just enough to feel contemporary and designed.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving condensed sans that remains clean and legible while adding a distinctive, superellipse-driven roundness. The intent appears focused on efficient composition, consistent rhythm across cases, and a modern, editorial-ready personality.
Round letters (like O/C/G) look slightly squared-off in their curvature, contributing to a precise, engineered feel. In longer text, the condensed widths create a strong vertical cadence that can become visually dense, making it especially impactful for short-to-medium runs and display settings.
