A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are shaped with rounded-rectangle logic: bowls and counters read as narrow superellipses with softened corners rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with consistent stroke endings that keep the texture even. Many forms show open apertures and slim internal spacing, giving letters a compact, engineered feel while remaining legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where space is limited and a tall, condensed presence is desired. It can work for short editorial display lines and captions when set with generous tracking, but its narrow counters and dense rhythm make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is modern and metropolitan, leaning toward a streamlined, architectural sensibility. Its narrow proportions and tidy geometry suggest efficiency and control, with a slightly retro-utilitarian flavor when used in all caps or large headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans that feels contemporary and orderly, using rounded-rectilinear construction to create distinctive, consistent bowls and counters. The goal seems to be a strong vertical emphasis with a clean, reproducible silhouette across letters and numerals.
The font’s condensed build creates a strong skyline effect in mixed-case text, with ascenders and capitals forming a continuous vertical cadence. Rounded corners temper the strictness of the geometry, preventing the overall color from becoming overly harsh despite the tight widths.
