A condensed, monolinear sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle/superellipse curves shaping bowls and terminals, giving counters a soft but controlled squareness rather than pure circularity. Joins are crisp and verticals dominate, while horizontals and diagonals remain restrained, producing a tight, efficient texture in text. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same compressed stance, with open apertures and simplified forms aimed at clarity under narrow width constraints.
Well-suited to space-constrained settings where you need high impact per line, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and labeling systems. It can also work for wayfinding or interface titling where a narrow, orderly texture helps fit more characters without looking cramped.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a slightly technical, signage-like presence. Its condensed build and tidy curves read as functional and contemporary rather than expressive or decorative, making it feel direct, organized, and informational.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans optimized for fitting long words into limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, consistent texture. The superelliptical rounding suggests an aim to balance strict geometry with a friendly, controlled softness.
Uppercase forms appear especially tall and space-efficient, and the font’s narrow set creates strong vertical emphasis in headlines. The rounded-square curvature shows most clearly in C/O-style shapes and in the softened ends of strokes, keeping the face from feeling brittle despite its tight proportions.
