A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and a tight overall rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than purely circular geometry. Strokes remain even and crisp, terminals are clean, and joins stay controlled, producing a streamlined silhouette that reads strongly in vertical stems and narrow apertures. Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction for consistent texture in mixed text.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited but height and presence are desired—headlines, deck copy, posters, and compact brand marks. It can also work for short editorial subheads and packaging text where a narrow, clean voice helps fit more characters per line without losing structure.
The font conveys a modern, utilitarian tone with a sleek, editorial edge. Its compressed width and disciplined geometry feel architectural and efficient, while the softly squared rounds keep it from feeling cold or overly technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed sans with a distinctive superelliptic construction, balancing strict verticality with subtly squared curves for a contemporary, controlled look.
In running text the tight spacing and narrow letterforms create a dense, high-impact typographic color. The superelliptic rounding is especially noticeable in characters with bowls and in the zero, reinforcing a cohesive, designed-in geometry across the set.
