A condensed sans with tall proportions and a monoline stroke that stays steady across the alphabet. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a softly squared feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and blunt with consistently rounded corners, and many letters lean on vertical stems for a tidy, columnar rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with simple joins and compact curves, while figures follow the same narrow, upright construction for an even, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its condensed width and distinctive rounded-rectilinear curves can stand out. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage systems that want a clean, contemporary voice with a hint of retro warmth. For longer reading, it’s most effective at comfortable sizes with generous line spacing to let the narrow rhythm breathe.
The overall tone feels modern and graphic with a light retro flavor, like streamlined signage or mid-century-inspired titling. Its rounded-rectilinear curves read friendly and approachable, while the condensed stance adds energy and a sense of efficiency. The result is playful without being informal, balancing charm with clarity.
This font appears designed to merge geometric discipline with softened, superelliptic curves—delivering a compact, space-efficient sans that remains friendly and highly recognizable. The consistent monoline build and tall proportions suggest an emphasis on clear, repeatable forms for display and identity work.
The design’s personality comes from the contrast between rigid vertical structure and softened corners, which creates a distinctive “soft-tech” silhouette. In continuous text it forms a consistent dark rhythm, and the superelliptic bowls help keep counters open even at narrow widths.
