A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes read largely monolinear with subtle modulation at joins, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls that feel controlled rather than geometric-perfect circles. Counters are narrow and vertical, and curves are drawn with long, continuous arcs; rounded shoulders and soft corners keep the texture from feeling harsh. Terminals are mostly clean and blunt, with occasional gentle hooks in the lowercase (notably in forms like the y), giving the design a lightly humanized finish while remaining disciplined.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short text where a compact footprint and strong vertical presence are desirable—posters, editorial layouts, branding, and packaging. It can also work for captions or UI labels when space is tight, provided sizes are chosen to preserve clarity in its narrow counters.
The overall tone is poised and architectural—sleek, editorial, and a bit vintage in its tall condensed stance. It feels confident and display-leaning, with a refined, poster-like presence that suggests early-modern signage and contemporary magazine typography at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with a polished, contemporary finish, using softened superellipse-like curves to keep the texture approachable and consistent. It prioritizes strong silhouette and tight typography while maintaining clean readability for display-driven applications.
In the sample text, the condensed width and high vertical emphasis create a strong vertical cadence and efficient line length, while the rounded bowls keep large sizes feeling friendly rather than severe. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic and maintain consistent weight with the letters, supporting cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
