A highly condensed sans with tall proportions and a firm vertical stance. Strokes read clean and even, with subtle contrast emerging from tapered joins and narrowed curves rather than overt thick–thin calligraphy. Many rounds are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters a softly squared geometry (notably in O/C/G and the numerals). Terminals are generally straight and crisp, with occasional gentle curvature in the lowercase, and the overall rhythm is tight and columnar.
Best suited to display contexts where horizontal space is limited and a strong vertical texture is desirable—headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial layouts. It can also work well in branding and packaging where a refined, modern condensed voice is needed, and in short UI labels where compactness matters (at sufficiently large sizes).
The tone is contemporary and graphic, with a fashion/editorial sharpness driven by its narrow build and towering caps. The softened, superelliptic rounding keeps it from feeling purely industrial, adding a polished, cosmopolitan finish. It suggests confidence and efficiency—designed to be noticed without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, space-saving sans with a distinctive superelliptic roundness—balancing strict vertical structure with softened corners for a refined, contemporary feel. Its consistent geometry and tight rhythm suggest a focus on impactful titles and identity work rather than long-form text.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and monolithic, while lowercase shows modest, readable differentiation (single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and relatively closed apertures). The numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect logic, keeping text and data visually consistent. Overall spacing appears tight, reinforcing the vertical, poster-like texture in longer lines.
