A condensed sans with tall proportions and compact letterfit. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and counters rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with subtly softened corners that keep shapes from feeling sharp. The uppercase reads narrow and vertical, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, text-oriented construction with a single-storey a and simple, open forms; numerals follow the same condensed, upright rhythm.
Well-suited to space-constrained settings where height and clarity matter, such as headlines, posters, and packaging. The condensed forms can also work for UI labels, navigation elements, and signage systems where short strings need strong presence without consuming horizontal space.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, prioritizing economy of space and clear rhythm over expressiveness. Its tall, compressed silhouette feels editorial and system-like, lending a straightforward, no-nonsense voice that still stays approachable due to the softened geometry.
The design appears intended as a compact, modern workhorse: a condensed sans that delivers a clean, consistent rhythm, with gently squared curves to create a distinctive geometric signature while remaining readable in display and short text applications.
Round letters (such as O/Q/C) appear squarer in their curvature, with counters that feel more like rounded rectangles than circles, reinforcing a geometric, engineered texture. The narrow widths create a consistent vertical cadence across lines, giving text a tightly stacked, column-friendly color.
