A highly condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a consistently restrained stroke. Curves are built from narrow, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than circular. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, with compact sidebearings and a strong emphasis on height over width.
Best suited to headlines, display lines, and space-constrained layouts where a strong vertical presence is useful. It can work well for branding, packaging, and editorial titling that benefits from a clean, contemporary condensed look; in longer text, it will be more effective at larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The tone is minimalist and contemporary, with an elegant, slightly fashion-forward sensibility. Its narrow, towering stance feels efficient and refined, projecting clarity and restraint rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek condensed voice built from simple geometric strokes, emphasizing vertical economy and a distinctive superelliptical curve language for modern display typography.
Round letters like C, O, and Q read as elongated capsules with tight inner counters, while diagonals and joins (as in K, V, W, X) stay sharp and disciplined. The numerals follow the same tall, narrow construction, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
