A monoline sans with extreme vertical proportions and tightly drawn, column-like letterforms. Curves are reduced to slim, rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals, giving counters a narrow, slot-like feel and keeping the overall silhouette highly streamlined. Strokes stay even throughout, with crisp joins and little to no modulation; the rhythm is driven by repeated parallel vertical stems and minimal apertures. Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly tall, compressed build, and the numerals follow the same elongated, linear construction for a very uniform set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and editorial titles where a highly compressed footprint is useful and the tall vertical rhythm can act as a graphic element. It can also work for logos and packaging that want a sleek, modern signature, especially when set larger and with added spacing rather than in long, small body copy.
The tone is restrained and precise, leaning toward a technical, architectural mood. Its tall, compressed rhythm feels efficient and slightly futuristic, with a cool, display-oriented presence that prioritizes sleekness over warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, space-saving condensed voice with a consistent linear stroke and rounded-rectilinear geometry. It aims for a disciplined, contemporary look that turns condensed proportions into a distinctive visual identity.
Because many characters share similar vertical skeletons, differentiation relies on small hooks, bowls, and internal notches, which can make dense settings feel visually repetitive. It reads most comfortably when given generous tracking and plenty of line spacing, where the strong vertical cadence becomes a deliberate graphic texture.
