A highly condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Strokes are consistently thin with rounded terminals and softly squared, superelliptic curves that keep counters narrow but smooth. The geometry feels controlled and modular, with straight-sided stems, compact bowls, and simplified joins; diagonals remain crisp while rounds read as rounded-rectangle forms. Spacing is measured and even, producing a tidy, columnar texture in words while maintaining clear letter separation.
Best used for headlines, titles, and display settings where a condensed footprint is valuable and the slender strokes can be preserved. It can add a stylish, space-efficient voice to branding, packaging, and editorial layouts, especially in short bursts of text rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is cool and restrained, leaning modern and design-forward. Its narrow, elongated silhouettes convey a refined, editorial feel—more architectural than friendly—suited to sleek, understated branding.
The design appears intended to offer a space-saving, modern display sans that prioritizes vertical elegance and a clean, geometric construction. Its rounded-rectangle curves and consistent thin stroke suggest a focus on contemporary layout systems and refined typographic contrast through proportion rather than stroke modulation.
The font’s tight width and tall ascenders/descenders create strong vertical emphasis, giving lines a high-rise look in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, keeping the set visually cohesive with the letters.
