A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and subtly softened corners that give round forms a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Curves stay controlled and verticals dominate, producing a steady, column-like rhythm. Counters are generally open and uncluttered, with simplified terminals and minimal detailing; joins are crisp and geometry-forward rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same narrow, linear logic, keeping widths compact and spacing even for a disciplined overall texture.
Best suited to space-efficient typography where a clean, modern voice is needed—headlines, poster typography, wayfinding and signage, packaging callouts, and compact UI labels. Its narrow proportions also make it useful for vertically oriented layouts and tight column widths.
The tone is contemporary and restrained, with a slightly architectural, signage-like clarity. Its narrow, vertical stance feels efficient and utilitarian, while the softened geometry keeps it from reading cold or harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed sans optimized for economy of space and clear, consistent texture, using softened geometric construction to maintain approachability while staying rigorously minimal.
Round letters such as C, O, and Q read as narrow ovals with flattened sides, reinforcing the rounded-rectangle motif. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, minimal construction, favoring legibility through openness rather than decorative quirks.
