A condensed, monolinear sans with a distinctly geometric construction: many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle/superellipse bowls rather than true circles. Strokes keep a steady weight with crisp terminals, and verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the design a tall, columnar feel. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, and several glyphs show deliberate, sign-like simplifications (notably in round letters and figures) that emphasize clean, architectural silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and geometric personality can carry a layout—headlines, posters, editorial titling, and brand marks. It can work for short bursts of supporting text (captions, menus, wayfinding) when set with generous tracking and line spacing, but its tight counters and stylization favor larger sizes.
The overall tone is streamlined and period-evocative, balancing sophistication with a playful, stylized quirk. Its narrow proportions and squared-round curves read as vintage-modern—suited to Art Deco and early modernist cues without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, high-impact sans with a cohesive superellipse geometry and a distinctly retro-modern voice. It aims for strong vertical rhythm and a clean, engineered silhouette that stays recognizable and decorative without relying on added ornament.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls and softly squared outer corners create strong consistency across rounds (e.g., O/Q and related forms). The numerals follow the same condensed, display-oriented logic, with clear, graphic shapes that prioritize verticality and uniform color over neutrality.
