A tall, condensed sans with softly squared curves and rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps bowls and counters clean and even. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle modulation, producing crisp verticals and tight apertures while maintaining legibility through open inner shapes. Terminals are clean and unembellished, and the overall rhythm is vertical and economical, with compact letterforms and consistent spacing that reads neatly in lines of text.
This font works best where vertical economy and a sleek, contemporary texture are desirable—headlines, subheads, posters, and branding wordmarks. Its narrow build also suits packaging and space-constrained UI labels or navigation, where a clean, consistent silhouette helps maintain clarity at moderate sizes.
The tone is modern and restrained, with a cool, architectural feel driven by its narrow proportions and tidy construction. Its rounded-rectangular curves add a gentle friendliness, tempering the otherwise technical, utilitarian impression. Overall it feels contemporary and editorial rather than expressive or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans voice with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton, balancing efficient width with a smooth, approachable geometry. It aims for a clean typographic color and straightforward readability while retaining a subtle, recognizable silhouette.
Round letters like O/C/G lean toward superelliptical outlines, giving the face a distinctive squared-round silhouette. Numerals follow the same tall, compact logic, matching the text color closely and reinforcing a clean, system-like consistency across alphanumerics.
