A tall, condensed sans with a monoline feel and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are consistently even with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to finish flat with subtly rounded corners that keep the texture smooth. Counters are compact but open enough to stay legible, with narrow apertures and a strong vertical emphasis. The overall rhythm is tight and efficient, producing a dense, uniform typographic color in lines of text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where space is limited and a vertical, condensed voice helps maximize words per line. It can also work for signage and UI labels when a compact, clean sans is needed, particularly in short bursts of text and structured layouts.
The tone is modern and practical, with a no-nonsense clarity that reads as contemporary and urban. Its condensed proportions add urgency and economy, while the rounded-rectangle shaping softens the voice just enough to feel approachable rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient sans for contemporary display and editorial settings, combining strict vertical proportions with gently squared geometry to keep the look technical yet friendly.
Round letters such as C, O, and G lean toward squarish bowls, reinforcing a geometric, engineered character. In text, the font maintains a consistent, compact cadence that suits tight measures and stacked layouts, and the numerals match the same narrow, upright posture for a cohesive system.
