A tall, condensed sans with a strongly vertical stance and tight horizontal proportions. Strokes read mostly even, with subtle modulation at curves and joins, and terminals are clean and unadorned. Counters are compact and often squared-off into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls (as in B, D, O, P, Q) a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with a single-storey a and g and narrow apertures, producing a consistent, column-like texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same condensed geometry with simple, linear construction and minimal flourish.
Best suited to display typography where condensed width is an advantage: headlines, subheads, posters, and magazine or catalog titling. It can also work for branding wordmarks and packaging where a tall, clean sans can signal modernity and structure, especially in shorter text strings.
The overall tone is contemporary and editorial: crisp, controlled, and slightly austere. Its condensed rhythm and tall proportions suggest fashion, magazine, and poster sensibilities, where a refined, space-efficient voice feels intentional rather than neutral. The rounded-rectangle bowls add a subtle retro-modern flavor—more designed than generic—without tipping into decorative styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans for contemporary layouts while maintaining a distinctive geometry through superellipse-like bowls. It prioritizes a clean, vertical rhythm and consistent counter shapes to keep text blocks orderly and visually sleek at larger sizes.
In running text the letterspacing appears naturally tight and the vertical strokes dominate, creating a strong typographic color that can feel emphatic at display sizes. Curved letters maintain a consistent squareness in the counterforms, which helps the design stay cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
