A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse logic, producing softly squared bowls in letters like O, C, and Q, while terminals remain clean and uncluttered. Strokes keep an even thickness with crisp joins, and counters are relatively open for the width, supporting clarity in narrow settings. The lowercase uses simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a compact, straight-shouldered rhythm; the overall spacing reads controlled and consistent, giving text a tidy, columnar texture.
Well-suited to headlines and short text where a tall condensed presence is useful, such as posters, editorial display, branding systems, and packaging. It can also work for signage and wayfinding where space is constrained and a clean, geometric voice is desired, especially at sizes that preserve the fine strokes.
The tone is restrained and contemporary, with a quiet, efficient character that feels technical and design-forward rather than expressive. Its tall, compact silhouette suggests precision and order, while the rounded-rectilinear curves soften the voice, keeping it approachable and calm.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, modern sans with a distinctive superelliptical geometry—combining strict, vertical proportions with softened rectangular curves for a crisp but friendly contemporary look.
Several glyphs lean on distinctive superelliptical geometry (especially O/Q/0), which helps the style feel cohesive across letters and numerals. The numeral set appears similarly condensed and clean, matching the same rounded-rectangle construction for rounded figures and maintaining a uniform, disciplined rhythm in running text.
