A highly condensed sans with a tall, linear build and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves. Strokes are generally even and clean, with softened terminals and corners that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Many letters emphasize verticals, while bowls and counters are compact and tightly controlled, producing a strong columnar rhythm. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, simplified construction with single-storey forms and narrow apertures; numerals follow the same elongated, streamlined logic.
Best suited to display settings where height and rhythm can be showcased: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and title cards. It can also work for short subheads or UI labels when space is tight, but its stylization and condensed spacing make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels sleek and design-forward, with a distinct Art Deco and retro-futurist flavor. Its compressed proportions and rounded geometry suggest speed, modernity, and a curated, display-oriented sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice that merges geometric clarity with rounded-rectangle softness. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes, strong vertical cadence, and a cohesive futuristic/Deco aesthetic for branding and editorial display.
The most distinctive feature is the interplay between very tall stems and small, rounded counters, which creates striking silhouettes and a strong pattern in repeated text. The family of shapes stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, architectural voice.
