A tall, tightly compressed sans with a monoline stroke and gently rounded terminals. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, giving the face a strong upward rhythm and a compact texture. Round letters like C, O, and G read as softened, superellipse-like shapes rather than perfect circles, while straighter letters keep crisp, parallel sides. The lowercase shows a high waistline and long ascenders/descenders, with a single-storey “a” and “g” that maintain the same narrow, vertical logic. Numerals follow the same condensed proportions, with compact bowls and upright, streamlined forms.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where verticality and compact width are advantages—posters, wordmarks, packaging, labels, and navigation elements. It can also work for tightly set editorial decks and subheads when spacing is tuned to keep counters open.
The overall tone is modern and economical, with a slightly stylized, poster-like presence created by the extreme vertical proportions. Its narrow build feels efficient and urban, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result is a contemporary, space-saving voice that stays neutral enough for information-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans with a distinctive compressed silhouette and softly squared rounds. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and a clean, monoline structure to stay legible while projecting a modern, condensed identity.
Because many forms are compressed, internal spaces can become tight at smaller sizes, especially in letters with stacked curves and narrow apertures. The design’s consistent vertical rhythm produces a strong, even “barcode” texture in paragraphs, which can be a feature for display settings and compact typographic systems.
