A condensed sans with a distinctly geometric, superellipse-driven construction. Strokes are monoline and clean, with rounded-rectangle counters and gently squared curves that keep bowls compact and controlled. The overall set leans in a reverse-italic direction, producing a subtle back-slant and lively rhythm, while maintaining crisp, straight-sided stems and tight interior spaces. Letterforms show open, simplified joins and straightforward terminals, giving the texture a consistent, high-density vertical cadence.
Best suited for display sizes where its condensed proportions and superelliptical geometry can act as a recognizable voice—headlines, posters, product packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial blocks, pull quotes, and UI labels when space is tight and a modern, distinctive tone is desired.
The font feels contemporary and slightly offbeat: technical and efficient at a glance, but with a playful, characterful twist coming from its superelliptical rounding and back-slanted posture. It reads as urban and editorial, with a sense of motion that keeps lines from feeling static.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a strong geometric signature—using rounded-rectangle forms and a subtle reverse-italic stance to add motion and personality while keeping the overall drawing restrained and consistent.
Capitals are tall and compact, helping headings stack tightly without losing clarity. Lowercase forms keep counters controlled and relatively narrow, which emphasizes a vertical, column-like texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same compact geometry, matching the family’s condensed rhythm and squared-round curves.
