A tall, condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and softly rounded, superellipse-like curves. The drawing favors verticality: long ascenders and deep descenders create an elongated rhythm, while bowls and counters stay narrow and clean. Terminals are smooth and restrained, and overall spacing feels measured and even, producing a crisp, uncluttered texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where its condensed proportions can create strong vertical rhythm and save horizontal space. It also fits contemporary branding and packaging that benefit from a clean, stylish voice; for long text, it works most comfortably at larger sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is sleek and contemporary, with an airy elegance that reads as fashion-forward and editorial. Its narrow footprint and refined simplicity give it a poised, slightly dramatic presence without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed sans that feels refined and space-efficient, using rounded-rectangular geometry to stay friendly while remaining crisp and editorial.
Round characters (like C, O, and lowercase a/e forms) lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than pure circles, reinforcing a controlled, designed feel. Numerals follow the same tall, compact logic, maintaining a unified vertical rhythm alongside the letters.
