A sharply condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical pull. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a tight, superelliptical geometry that stays consistent across the alphabet. Terminals are mostly flat and direct, with minimal modulation and compact apertures that keep the texture dense. The lowercase is compact and efficient, while the numerals follow the same tall, streamlined proportions for a unified rhythm in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where a condensed voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It works well for posters, mastheads, packaging, and brand systems that want a strong vertical profile and a compact footprint. In text blocks it can create a dense, editorial texture, especially at larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The overall tone feels contemporary and high-impact, with a confident, poster-ready presence. Its compressed silhouettes read as purposeful and metropolitan, leaning toward modern editorial and display styling rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in narrow widths while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans structure. Its superelliptical curves and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on disciplined geometry and a steady, modern rhythm for display-led typography.
Spacing appears tuned to maintain an even, dark text color in lines of copy, with narrow internal counters that increase intensity at smaller sizes. The design’s rounded-rectangle curves keep it from feeling purely mechanical, adding a subtle softness without becoming playful.
