A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a distinctly superelliptical construction: rounds read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. Strokes stay even and verticals dominate, giving the design a clean, engineered rhythm. Curves are tight and controlled with compact bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q and the lowercase) and minimal modulation, while terminals are flat and squared-off. The lowercase features a tall x-height and narrow counters, and the figures follow the same condensed, upright pattern for a consistent vertical texture in lines of text.
Well-suited for space-saving display settings such as headlines, posters, and packaging where a tall, condensed texture is beneficial. It can also work for signage or short UI labels thanks to its clean monoline structure and straightforward letterforms, particularly when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and disciplined, with a slightly retro, signage-like flavor that comes from the compressed width and rounded-rectangle curves. It feels efficient and matter-of-fact, prioritizing compactness and clarity over warmth or calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans optimized for vertical efficiency, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms distinctive and consistent while remaining restrained and legible in display contexts.
The condensed build creates a strong vertical cadence in paragraphs and headlines, and the superelliptical rounds keep the font from feeling purely mechanical. In the samples, the narrow counters and tight bowls suggest it will look best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing, especially at smaller sizes.
