A highly condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves that keep counters narrow and vertical. Strokes stay even and clean with squared terminals subtly softened by rounded corners, producing a tidy, architectural rhythm. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S feel controlled and slightly rectangular rather than purely circular, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are steep and compact. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with simple, streamlined forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other space-constrained layouts where a tall, condensed voice is desirable. It can work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a clean, modern, tightly set typographic look, and as an editorial accent in magazines or web layouts.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a space-saving, editorial feel. Its tall, compressed silhouette reads efficient and urban, leaning more toward functional clarity than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to maximize vertical presence while conserving horizontal space, using a consistent monoline construction and superellipse-based curves to keep forms crisp, contemporary, and visually disciplined.
The condensed width creates dense texture in longer lines, and the narrow apertures/counters can become tight at smaller sizes. In display settings, the consistent stroke and rounded-rectangle geometry gives words a distinctive, uniform cadence.
