A tall, condensed sans with smooth, superelliptical rounds and a consistently clean stroke. Curves are drawn with rounded-rectangle logic rather than perfect circles, giving counters a softly squared feel in letters like O and Q, while straights remain crisp and vertical. Terminals are mostly blunt and controlled, with occasional gentle shaping in joins and diagonals; the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, producing a sleek texture in words. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and simple construction, keeping a uniform, contemporary look across the set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a narrow footprint and refined texture are useful. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from a clean, contemporary voice without feeling overly technical.
The font reads as modern and understated, with a poised, fashion-forward tone. Its narrow stance and disciplined forms suggest precision and restraint, while the softened geometry adds a subtle sophistication rather than a stark industrial feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans with softened geometric structure, balancing crisp verticality with superelliptical curves for a polished, editorial character.
Distinctive details include the superelliptical oval structure in round glyphs and a slender, linear presence that keeps spacing and color even in running text. The lowercase feels straightforward and functional, with clear differentiation between similar forms, supporting a neat, editorial texture.
