A tall, tightly set condensed sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle contrast at joins, and terminals are clean and squared-off with softened corners, giving counters a squared-oval feel. Curves stay controlled and verticals dominate, producing a strong vertical rhythm; bowls and apertures are compact, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright geometry for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited and a strong vertical emphasis is desired. It can work well for editorial titling, posters, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from compact width and a consistent geometric voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and disciplined, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its condensed proportions and crisp structure feel utilitarian and editorial, leaning toward a streamlined, metropolitan aesthetic rather than friendly or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a superelliptical geometry to keep the condensed forms sturdy and coherent. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on clear, system-friendly typography for contemporary branding and editorial layouts.
In running text the narrow set creates a dark, even column and a compressed cadence, making spacing and line length feel efficient. The rounded-rectangle skeleton keeps forms distinctive at display sizes while maintaining a uniform, engineered consistency across letters and figures.
