A tall, tightly proportioned sans with monoline strokes and softly squared curves that lean toward superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction. Counters are compact and generally closed, giving letters like a, e, and s a dense interior rhythm, while straight stems remain crisp and uniform. Terminals are clean and minimally treated, with a high, narrow overall silhouette and consistent vertical emphasis across caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic with simple, even stroke behavior and tidy curves.
Well suited to space-saving headlines, posters, and editorial display where vertical economy is valuable. The condensed build and uniform stroke weight also fit wayfinding, packaging panels, and brand wordmarks that need a clean, modern footprint without decorative styling.
The tone is contemporary and disciplined, with a pragmatic, signage-like clarity. Its condensed posture and rounded-rect geometry suggest a technical, industrial sensibility rather than a friendly or calligraphic one, keeping the voice neutral, efficient, and modern.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize content density while maintaining an orderly, contemporary look. Rounded-rectangle curves and consistent monoline strokes point to an intention of creating a compact, industrial-leaning sans that stays visually calm and highly structured in display settings.
The design reads best when used to exploit its vertical economy: tight sidebearings and compact counters create a strong columnar texture in lines of text. Rounded corners soften the otherwise strict structure, preventing the condensed forms from feeling overly harsh.
