A tall, tightly proportioned sans with monoline strokes and consistently rounded corners. Curves resolve into squared, superellipse-like bowls, creating a rounded-rectangle feel in letters such as O, C, D, and Q. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with minimal modulation and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Counters are narrow and apertures tend to be compact, giving the design a dense, columnar texture that stays orderly across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
This font performs best in headlines, posters, signage, and identity work where a tall condensed voice can add presence without heavy weight. It also suits packaging and editorial display lines that benefit from an orderly, modern rhythm, especially when set with generous tracking or in short bursts of text.
The overall tone feels streamlined and architectural, with a subtle Art Deco flavor from the elongated forms and rounded-rectangular geometry. It reads confident and composed rather than playful, projecting a sleek, metropolitan mood that suits display-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek condensed sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangular geometry, balancing strict vertical structure with softened corners for a refined, contemporary display character.
Distinctive constructions include narrow, rounded bowls and upright stems that emphasize verticality, while the numerals echo the same compressed, rounded-rectangle logic. Spacing appears disciplined, supporting a uniform cadence in words and all-caps settings.
