A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and compact internal counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a subtly squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular rounds. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with straightforward joins and a consistent vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms stay narrow and upright; lowercase follows with simple, legible constructions and restrained modulation, keeping spacing and texture even in text.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where horizontal space is limited and a tall, modern texture is desirable. It can work effectively for posters, branding systems, packaging, and editorial pull quotes, particularly when a clean condensed sans is needed to pack information densely without decorative distraction.
The overall tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, with a sleek, space-saving presence that reads as utilitarian and slightly industrial. Its narrow proportions create a focused, efficient voice suited to modern layouts, while the softened rectangular curves keep it from feeling harsh or overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, highly vertical sans for contemporary communication, balancing strict economy of width with softened superelliptical curves for a distinct but restrained personality.
The condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis and a tight typographic color, especially noticeable in all-caps and numerals. Superelliptical curves add a distinctive flavor to rounded letters (such as C, O, and S), producing a controlled, engineered look.
