A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and generous vertical proportions. Curves are smoothly rounded and tend toward squarish-oval (superellipse) construction, giving bowls and counters a softly rectilinear feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with consistent stroke endings and a disciplined, even rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with open apertures and simple joins; figures follow the same narrow, streamlined logic for a cohesive text color.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and tight column settings where a condensed footprint is useful. The clean, monoline construction and soft-rounded geometry also suit contemporary branding, packaging systems, and interface labels where a quiet, modern tone is desired. It can add an elegant vertical emphasis in posters and large-format typographic layouts.
The overall tone is restrained and contemporary, with an airy, refined presence. Its narrow, vertical stance and soft-rounded geometry read as precise and technical while still feeling approachable rather than harsh. The impression is calm and understated, suited to designs that want clarity without visual noise.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient condensed sans that remains legible and visually calm. The superellipse-based rounding suggests an intention to blend geometric rigor with softened corners for a modern, refined texture across both display and short text applications.
The narrow set width and tall ascenders/descenders create a strong vertical cadence, especially noticeable in pairs like H/N/M and in the slim, open forms of C/G/S. Rounded-rectangle counters in letters like O/D/Q help maintain a consistent geometric voice, and the punctuation and numerals echo the same clean, minimal construction.
