A tall, tightly set sans with extremely condensed proportions and a consistent, hairline stroke. Curves are built from softly squared, superelliptic rounds, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, with occasional subtle curvature in joints and tails; overall spacing is open for the width, creating a light, vertical rhythm. The lowercase is compact with modest ascenders/descenders relative to the dominant cap height, and the figures follow the same narrow, linear construction.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and poster typography where a tall, condensed silhouette can save space while staying distinctive. It can add a refined, contemporary voice to branding and packaging, and works effectively for editorial pull quotes or titling where the narrow rhythm becomes a design feature.
The font reads as spare and modern with a distinctive retro display edge. Its slim, vertical presence feels elegant and slightly eccentric, balancing a clean minimalism with a stylized, poster-like personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly condensed, minimalist sans with softened superelliptic rounding for a recognizable silhouette. It prioritizes a clean, high-contrast-in-space look (more shape than stroke) that stands out in display sizes and structured layouts.
The condensed construction emphasizes vertical strokes and makes rounded letters feel gently squared, which reinforces a geometric, engineered tone. In text settings, the narrow width creates a strong columnar texture that suits short bursts of copy more than long reading.
