A compact, highly condensed sans with tall proportions and a tight, vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast, and terminals are clean with softly rounded corners that give counters a squared‑oval (superellipse) feel. Curves on C, G, S, and the bowls of B/P/R stay controlled and narrow, while straight-sided letters like E, F, H, and N emphasize the typeface’s upright, architectural structure. Lowercase forms are simple and legible with a sturdy, squared-shoulder n/m, a narrow o, and a single-storey a; punctuation and numerals follow the same compact, upright logic with clear, open shapes.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed width can pack information into limited horizontal space—headlines, posters, covers, and packaging. It can also work for signage or interface labels when vertical emphasis and quick scanning are priorities, though the narrow forms suggest using generous size and leading for longer passages.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian—focused on clarity and space efficiency rather than expressiveness. Rounded corners soften the strict geometry just enough to feel approachable, while the tall, condensed silhouette reads assertive and streamlined.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, contemporary sans that remains readable and consistent across a full basic set. By combining tight proportions with rounded-rectangle geometry, it aims to look technical and modern without feeling harsh.
Spacing appears calibrated for dense setting: narrow letterforms with consistent internal proportions and restrained apertures. The superelliptical rounding is especially noticeable in bowls and inner corners, which keeps the design cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
