A condensed, monoline sans with smooth superelliptic rounds and a consistent, engineered rhythm. Strokes remain even throughout, with softly rounded corners and terminals that keep the texture gentle despite the tight widths. Counters are compact but clean, and curved letters like C, O, and Q read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles. The lowercase is narrow with simple, uncluttered shapes and a single-storey a; figures follow the same tall, streamlined construction, with an open, oval-like 0 and a slender 1.
Best suited to display roles where a tall, condensed voice can create hierarchy without taking much horizontal space—headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes, packaging labels, and UI titling where a clean, modern tone is desired, though longer passages may feel dense due to the narrow set.
The overall tone is crisp and contemporary, with a calm, controlled feel that suggests precision and restraint. Its narrow proportions and smooth geometry give it a sleek, metropolitan voice—more design-forward than conversational—while the rounded shaping prevents it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, modern sans with softened geometry—combining a technical, structured skeleton with rounded superelliptic forms for a more approachable finish. It prioritizes consistent texture and a distinctive condensed silhouette for contemporary branding and display typography.
Spacing and proportions produce a vertical, column-like color that stays even across mixed-case text. The Q’s large bowl and short diagonal tail and the compact joins in letters like M/N/W emphasize a structural, geometric personality.
