A tall, monoline sans with strongly condensed proportions and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into soft superelliptic corners, and vertical strokes dominate, giving the design a stretched, columnar rhythm. Counters are narrow and neatly enclosed, terminals are uniformly rounded, and joins stay simple and controlled rather than calligraphic. Numerals and punctuation follow the same narrow, rounded construction for a consistent, lightweight texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where its tall condensed silhouette can act as a graphic element—headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, and short signage. It can also work for concise UI labels or navigation when set with comfortable size and spacing, where its narrow footprint helps conserve horizontal space without feeling harsh.
The overall tone is spare and modern, with a slightly playful, retro-futurist flavor created by the elongated shapes and rounded rectangular forms. Its thin, airy presence feels calm and understated, yet distinctive enough to read as intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to blend geometric simplicity with a distinctive, elongated silhouette, using rounded-rectangle forms to create a cohesive, contemporary voice. It prioritizes a clean, minimal stroke system and a consistent corner treatment to deliver recognizable character with restrained visual noise.
The condensed width makes spacing and word shapes feel tight and vertical, which can add a design-forward character in headlines but may require generous tracking at smaller sizes. Repeated verticals (as in H/M/N) create a steady pattern, while rounded corners keep the texture friendly rather than technical.
