A highly condensed sans with tall proportions and an even, hairline stroke throughout. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with softened corners, and joins stay crisp with little to no contrast. The overall rhythm is vertical and airy, with narrow letterforms and generous internal white space that keeps shapes legible despite the slim build.
Best suited to display settings where verticality and economy of space are useful—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for wayfinding or interface labels when set with adequate size and spacing, where its narrow footprint helps fit more characters per line.
The tone is cool, restrained, and contemporary, leaning toward a technical and architectural sensibility. Its narrow, linear presence suggests efficiency and precision, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh or industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, space-saving condensed voice with geometric, superelliptical roundness and a clean monoline structure. It aims for a neutral, contemporary look that reads as precise and streamlined in short to medium text runs.
Round characters such as C, O, and Q maintain a consistent rounded-rectangle skeleton, and the punctuation-like dot on i/j appears compact and simple. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, with straightforward construction that prioritizes clarity over expressiveness.
