A tall, tightly set sans with uniform stroke thickness and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into superelliptic corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and terminals a squared-yet-soft geometry. Capitals are narrow and vertical, with simplified structures and generous interior space for their width; lowercase follows the same compressed rhythm with compact shoulders and short, straight-sided stems. Numerals and punctuation match the same monoline, rounded-corner logic, producing an even, high-contrast silhouette against white space despite the consistent stroke weight.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and signage where a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm are useful. It can also serve branding and packaging that want a retro-modern, architectural feel, especially in short phrases, labels, and titling where its narrow forms remain clear.
The overall tone feels Art Deco and streamlined, evoking early-modern signage and architectural lettering. Its compressed, upright stance reads precise and purposeful, with a clean, poster-friendly presence that leans more display than text.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, space-saving sans with a distinctive superelliptic geometry, combining a modernist construction with an Art Deco flavor. It prioritizes consistent stroke economy and a bold, legible silhouette in display sizes.
Rounded-rectangle bowls and consistently softened corners create a distinctive mechanical warmth. The condensed proportions produce strong vertical rhythm and efficient word shapes, especially in all-caps settings, while the simplified forms keep the texture uniform across mixed case and figures.
