A tightly condensed sans with extremely tall proportions and a monolinear stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic, giving O/C/G/e and numerals a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with compact bowls and narrow apertures that emphasize vertical rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are slim and sharp, and counters remain tall and compressed throughout. The overall texture is even and mechanical, with minimal modulation and consistent spacing that reads as a continuous columnar pattern in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-form settings where height and compression help fit long phrases into narrow spaces—posters, titling, signage, packaging, and brand lockups. It also works well for graphic systems that rely on strong vertical rhythm, such as editorial display lines, event identities, or interface headers where a slim, architectural presence is desired.
The font conveys a sleek, urban tone—part modernist display, part vintage signage. Its compressed geometry and rounded-rect curves feel efficient and engineered, producing a cool, graphic voice that can read as cinematic, editorial, or industrial depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient display sans that turns condensation into a defining style. By combining monolinear strokes with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims for a distinctive, engineered silhouette that stays clean and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
At text sizes the narrow apertures and condensed counters can make dense paragraphs feel busy, while at larger sizes the distinctive superelliptical rounds and towering proportions become the main character. The numerals match the same tall, condensed logic and maintain strong vertical alignment, reinforcing a streamlined, poster-like presence.
