A condensed, monoline sans with superelliptic construction: rounds read as softly squared, and curves transition with a smooth, even rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with little visible modulation, giving a clean, drawn-with-a-single-pen feel. Proportions are notably tall, with compact counters and rounded terminals throughout; joins are tidy and controlled, and the overall texture is airy without feeling fragile. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, vertical logic, maintaining a uniform color in text while preserving distinct silhouettes.
Well-suited to branding and headline settings where a compact, vertically oriented voice is useful, such as packaging, posters, and editorial titling. It can also work for UI labels and short interface text where space is tight and a gentle, modern tone is desired, especially at comfortable sizes and with ample line spacing.
The tone is minimal and lightly retro, with a friendly, approachable character driven by rounded-rectangle forms and tall proportions. It feels tidy and calm, but with a subtle quirkiness that keeps it from reading as purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge modern sans simplicity with a distinctive superelliptic geometry, producing a compact typeface that feels both functional and stylistically recognizable. Its consistent, rounded-rectangle forms prioritize a coherent silhouette system across cases and figures.
In longer text, the narrow set and tall forms create a strong vertical cadence and efficient line length. The softened corners and compact apertures contribute to a slightly stylized, display-leaning voice even at body sizes.
