A highly condensed sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently low stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and controlled, corners are subtly softened, and terminals are clean without decorative flourish. The proportions emphasize height over width, producing a tight horizontal rhythm that stays orderly in text while remaining distinctive in display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where narrow typography helps fit more text per line while maintaining a clean look. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and wayfinding-style applications when you want a compact, orderly sans with a slightly distinctive silhouette. For long-form body text, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes with generous line spacing due to its condensed proportions.
This font conveys a crisp, metropolitan tone with a slightly retro, utilitarian edge. Its condensed stance and clean curves feel efficient and space-conscious, while the softened geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it reads as modern editorial rather than techy or playful.
The design appears intended to provide a compact sans voice that conserves horizontal space without sacrificing legibility. Its superelliptical rounding suggests an aim to soften a strict geometric structure, balancing a functional, signage-like cadence with a contemporary editorial finish.
The sample text shows a consistent vertical emphasis and tidy spacing that produces strong column alignment. Numerals and capitals match the same condensed, rounded-rect logic, creating a cohesive set for display typography.
