A tall, condensed sans with monolinear strokes and softly rounded joins that keep the geometry feeling smooth rather than sharp. Curves are drawn with a squarish, superellipse-like logic, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle character. Proportions are consistently vertical, with long ascenders/descenders and narrow apertures that create a taut rhythm in text. Terminals are clean and unadorned, and the overall spacing favors a neat, economical footprint without looking cramped.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand wordmarks where a condensed silhouette is useful for fitting text into tight widths. It also works well for packaging and interface labels that benefit from a clean, modern tone and consistent, streamlined forms. For extended reading, it’s likely strongest in larger sizes where the narrow apertures and tall proportions remain comfortable.
The font conveys a minimal, contemporary tone with a slightly refined, editorial feel. Its narrow, vertical stance reads as efficient and composed, while the rounded geometry adds approachability and softness. Overall it feels quiet, modern, and design-forward rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient sans with a smooth, rounded-rectangular geometry—combining compact width with a calm, contemporary voice. It prioritizes clarity and a distinctive vertical texture while staying restrained and neutral enough for broad design systems.
Numerals and uppercase share the same slender, upright logic, helping mixed content feel consistent. The lowercase shows simple, utilitarian constructions with rounded details that keep small shapes from looking brittle. In longer lines, the condensed texture produces a distinct vertical cadence that can become a strong graphic element.
