A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and compact sidebearings. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional gentle rounding at corners; joins stay tight and controlled, producing a consistent, vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are especially elongated, while lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with simple apertures and restrained detailing.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed silhouette is an advantage: headlines, posters, labels, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for signage or UI moments that need a clean, space-saving voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tall forms and tight counters stay clear.
The overall tone is sleek and slightly retro, evoking Art Deco–adjacent signage while remaining distinctly contemporary. Its narrow, vertical cadence feels efficient and architectural, projecting clarity and order more than warmth or playfulness.
Designed to deliver a space-efficient, modern sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangular construction. The intent appears to balance geometric personality with straightforward readability, offering a stylized but practical condensed texture for contemporary graphic design.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals such as 0/8 show the superelliptic influence most clearly, with squarer sides and softened corners. The set maintains a uniform stroke presence and steady proportions, helping mixed-case text read as a cohesive, streamlined texture.
