A tall, condensed sans with a strongly vertical stance and crisp, economical outlines. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than fully circular. Strokes read mostly monolinear with subtle modulation, and terminals are clean with minimal detailing. The uppercase forms are narrow and column-like, while the lowercase keeps a high x-height and compact apertures, producing a steady, space-efficient rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short text where a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm are advantages. It works well for editorial titling, fashion or cultural branding, packaging, and poster systems that need a tall, space-saving sans with a refined geometric voice.
The overall tone is sleek and composed, combining modern minimalism with a hint of vintage display flavor. Its narrow proportions and softened corners create a refined, metropolitan feel—more sophisticated than sporty, and more editorial than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver an efficient, high-impact condensed texture while maintaining a smooth, geometric softness through superelliptical curves. The intent seems to balance modern clarity with a slightly stylized, display-ready character for titling and identity work.
The design emphasizes continuous verticals and tight counters, which heightens the condensed character and creates strong texture in paragraphs. Rounded-rectangular bowls (notably in letters like O/C and similar forms) reinforce a consistent geometric theme, while distinctive shapes in a few letters add display personality without introducing ornament.
