A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and a tight rhythm. Strokes are even and spare, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves shaping bowls and terminals, giving round letters a softly squared feel. Counters are narrow and vertical, apertures tend to be small, and the overall texture is clean and linear with little modulation. Uppercase forms read compact and architectural, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian construction with simple joins and restrained curves; numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and compact typographic layouts where space is limited and a crisp, modern voice is desired. It works well for branding systems, packaging, and editorial display typography, and can also serve for UI labels or navigation elements where a tall, efficient footprint is helpful.
The tone is cool, contemporary, and streamlined, suggesting clarity and efficiency rather than warmth or ornament. Its narrow, upright stance feels metropolitan and editorial, with a subtle technical/wayfinding character coming from the disciplined geometry and tight spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek condensed sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry—prioritizing a consistent, modern texture and space-efficient letterforms for display and system-style applications.
Round characters like O/Q and C/G show a squarish curvature that reinforces the superellipse feel, and the set maintains consistent stroke endings without decorative flares. The condensed width amplifies verticality and helps create a strong columnar texture in paragraphs, especially at larger sizes.
