A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strongly vertical posture. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a softly squared geometry rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with tight apertures and compact internal space that reinforce a controlled, streamlined rhythm. Capitals are narrow and architectural, while lowercase forms keep a simple, linear construction; numerals follow the same spare, condensed logic for an even texture across mixed text.
Well suited to space-conscious headlines and subheads, posters, and branded titling where a slim, refined voice is needed. It can also work for packaging and signage-style applications that benefit from narrow forms and a clean, structured rhythm, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is restrained and contemporary, with a cool, engineered clarity. Its slim proportions and softly squared curves feel elegant and understated, leaning toward a sleek, editorial sensibility rather than expressive or playful typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek, condensed sans for modern display use, combining minimal stroke modulation with superellipse-based rounding to keep the geometry disciplined yet approachable. The consistent, pared-back construction suggests an emphasis on clarity and efficient horizontal space without resorting to decorative features.
In running text the condensed set width creates an economical line while maintaining distinct silhouettes, especially in the tall ascenders/descenders and the rounded-rectangular bowls. The design reads best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing, where its refined, linear details stay crisp.
