A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and strongly vertical proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, producing squarish bowls and softly radiused corners rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with compact apertures and a disciplined, even rhythm. The lowercase is prominent and tall relative to ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction for a consistent texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where a compact footprint and tall rhythm are advantageous. It can work well for editorial typography, branding systems, packaging, and interface titles when you want a clean, contemporary look with a distinctive geometric flavor.
The overall tone is modern and controlled, balancing a utilitarian condensed feel with a slightly stylized geometric softness in the rounded-rect curves. It reads as contemporary and editorial—crisp, efficient, and a bit architectural—without feeling harsh.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in narrow spaces while maintaining a neutral, modern voice. The superellipse-derived curves appear intended to differentiate it from typical condensed grotesks, adding a subtle, systematic softness without sacrificing clarity.
The design relies on a strong vertical cadence and repeated narrow counters, which creates a striking columnar color in lines of text. Rounded-rect bowls (notably in letters like O/C/G and in several lowercase forms) give the face a distinct signature that remains clear in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
