A tall, compact sans with strongly condensed proportions and monoline strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than fully circular geometry. Terminals are clean and consistent, with crisp joins and minimal modulation, producing an even texture in text. The lowercase shows compact apertures and tidy, looped forms, while the figures follow the same narrow, upright rhythm for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where horizontal space is limited and a tall, condensed voice is desired. It also works well for branding, packaging, and wayfinding-style labels that benefit from a clean, modern presence and consistent, monoline construction.
The overall tone is contemporary and efficient, with a confident, urban polish. Its narrow, disciplined forms feel purposeful and space-saving, while the softened superellipse curves keep it approachable rather than stark. The result reads as modern and editorial, suited to sleek, structured design systems.
Likely drawn to provide a space-efficient, modern sans with softened geometric curves—combining condensed economy with a polished, contemporary texture. The consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction suggest an aim for clarity, repeatable shapes, and a distinctive yet restrained personality.
In longer lines the tight, vertical rhythm creates a strong columnar flow, emphasizing height over width. Rounded-rectangle counters and uniformly slim strokes keep the texture consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with a slightly technical, systemized feel.
