A tall, condensed sans with mostly monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Counters and bowls lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving O/C/D and similar forms a superelliptical, squarish roundness rather than a pure circle. Curves connect smoothly into straight stems with restrained modulation, and the overall rhythm is vertical and airy, with generous interior space despite the narrow set.
Best suited to display applications where a condensed voice is useful: headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks that need to fit long words into limited horizontal space. It can also work for short editorial callouts or packaging text at larger sizes where its narrow rhythm and rounded geometry remain crisp.
The tone is cool and contemporary, with a refined, slightly technical feel. Its narrow, elongated proportions read as fashionable and editorial, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, modern condensed sans with softened, superelliptical forms—balancing a technical, structured skeleton with friendly rounding for contemporary branding and editorial typography.
Uppercase forms are particularly high and slender, producing a strong vertical emphasis in headlines. Lowercase shows compact proportions and simplified shapes, supporting tight setting while maintaining clear word silhouettes.
