A tall, condensed sans with a restrained, monolinear feel and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from smooth superellipse-like geometry, giving counters a rounded-rectangle character rather than perfect circles. Strokes stay consistently slim, with gentle transitions where curves meet stems, and a generally even color on the page. Proportions emphasize height and narrow width, with compact bowls and open apertures that keep forms legible despite the condensed set.
Best suited to display settings where condensed width and tall proportions help maximize characters per line: headlines, posters, and titling. Its clean geometry and rounded finish also work well for branding and packaging, and it can hold up in short UI labels or signage when set with comfortable tracking and size.
The overall tone is contemporary and quiet, with a streamlined, architectural clarity. Rounded corners and calm rhythm soften the strict verticality, producing a friendly-but-precise voice that feels refined rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed sans with a modern geometric backbone, using superellipse-derived rounds to keep the shapes approachable and consistent. The emphasis on vertical rhythm and clean terminals suggests an aim for contemporary clarity and strong typographic presence in display use.
Uppercase forms read especially monolithic and vertical, while lowercase introduces subtle humanist cues (notably in the shapes of a, e, and g) without breaking the geometric system. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic and maintain consistent curvature and terminal treatment for a unified texture across mixed text.
