A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, with smooth, even rounding at terminals and corners rather than sharp joins. The capitals feel elongated and disciplined, while the lowercase maintains a high x-height and compact apertures, creating a continuous, vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction, keeping the overall texture consistent in running text.
Best suited to display roles where a narrow footprint is useful: headlines, subheads, posters, magazine mastheads, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as captions or packaging callouts where a clean, stylish voice is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and polished, with a calm, architectural precision. Its compressed proportions and soft rounding give it a stylish, editorial feel—leaning elegant rather than friendly—while staying minimal and restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed sans with a refined, modern character, using superelliptical rounding to soften the geometry while preserving a crisp, editorial rhythm.
Round letters like O/C/G read as slender capsules, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are drawn with tight joins that reinforce the vertical emphasis. The design’s consistent stroke weight and softened geometry help prevent the condensed forms from feeling brittle.
