A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves lean toward superellipse-like bowls, giving round forms a squarish, rounded-rectangle feel rather than a pure circle. Vertical strokes dominate the rhythm, with compact apertures and tight interior counters that emphasize a streamlined silhouette. The overall construction is tidy and consistent, with clean joins and restrained detailing that keeps letters crisp at display sizes.
Works well where horizontal space is limited and a compact headline needs to stay legible—such as posters, cover lines, wayfinding, and narrow UI labels. The tall condensed texture can also add a contemporary editorial feel in titles, subheads, and branded messaging where a clean, efficient footprint is desirable.
The font projects a modern, space-saving voice: compact, orderly, and quietly assertive. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded-rectangle geometry read as contemporary and practical, with a slightly technical or metro-signage flavor. The tone is neutral and disciplined rather than playful, making it feel suited to information-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, highly economical sans with a modern geometric backbone. By pairing strict vertical emphasis with softened, superellipse-like curves, it aims to balance efficiency and clarity with a refined, contemporary finish.
Digits and capitals share the same tall proportions, reinforcing a uniform, columnar texture. Rounded corners soften what would otherwise be a rigid condensed build, helping paragraphs look less harsh while still maintaining a tight, economical color on the page.
