A tall, tightly set sans with elongated proportions and compact letter widths. Strokes are predominantly vertical with squared-off, rounded-rectangle curves, producing an overall superelliptical geometry in bowls and arches. Contrast is noticeable, with heavier verticals and lighter horizontals, and terminals tend to be clean and abrupt rather than calligraphic. Counters are narrow but generally open, and the lowercase shows straightforward forms with single-storey a and g and a compact, utilitarian rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where a narrow footprint is useful and the condensed texture becomes a design feature. It can work well in brand marks, packaging, and magazine-style layouts where a sleek, modern sans is desired and tight spacing helps fit long titles into limited width.
The tone feels contemporary and architectural—lean, controlled, and slightly formal. Its condensed stance and crisp construction give it an editorial, fashion-forward voice that reads as premium and modern rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction and crisp contrast for contemporary display typography. The consistent superelliptical curves and restrained details prioritize a clean, stylized texture over neutrality.
Distinctive superellipse curves show up clearly in rounded letters like C, O, Q, and in the numerals, helping the design stay consistent even at extreme condensation. The punctuation and figures match the same narrow, vertical emphasis, supporting a cohesive texture in text lines.
