This typeface is a monoline sans with strongly condensed proportions and a tall overall stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangular geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical, softened-square feel rather than purely circular forms. Strokes stay consistently thin with little to no modulation, and terminals are clean and unbracketed. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting a quiet, vertical rhythm across mixed-case text and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, condensed rhythm can create strong vertical emphasis—headlines, posters, and large-format captions. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefit from a minimal, modern voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is restrained and contemporary, with an airy lightness and a crisp, engineered calm. Its condensed height and softened geometry create a sleek, slightly retro-modern flavor that feels refined rather than loud.
The design appears intended to provide a sleek condensed sans optimized for contemporary display typography, combining strict vertical proportions with softened superelliptical curves to keep the look approachable while remaining precise.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 read as tall, rounded rectangles; the Q uses a subtle tail that preserves the clean silhouette. The lowercase maintains a high, upright presence with simple joins and minimal detailing, and the numerals follow the same narrow, monoline construction for a consistent text color.
