A tall, tightly condensed sans with even strokes and a clean, linear rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than perfectly circular forms. Terminals are mostly straight and cut cleanly, with occasional softened corners; curves join stems smoothly, keeping the overall texture consistent. Proportions are narrow throughout, with generous vertical reach and compact sidebearings, producing a dense, columnar color in text.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where horizontal space is limited, such as posters, editorial titling, packaging panels, and navigation or wayfinding. It can also work for UI labels and compact informational typography where a narrow footprint and consistent stroke color help maintain clarity.
The tone is modern and utilitarian, with a slightly architectural, signage-like clarity. Its narrow stance and orderly geometry create an efficient, contemporary voice that feels neutral, disciplined, and intentionally space-saving rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears aimed at a space-efficient, contemporary sans that stays neutral while adding character through superelliptical rounding. Its condensed proportions and controlled geometry suggest a focus on structured layouts, strong vertical rhythm, and clean presentation across display and short-text settings.
The uppercase set reads especially tall and streamlined, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, legible structure with simple joins. Rounded forms (like C, O, and G) keep a squared-off softness that differentiates it from purely circular grotesques, helping the font retain a distinctive geometric signature at display sizes.
