A tall, tightly proportioned sans with monoline strokes and compact letter widths. Curves are built from softly squared, superellipse-like rounds, giving bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Terminals are crisp and largely straight, with restrained apertures and consistent stroke endings that keep the texture even in dense settings. The lowercase shows simple, functional construction (single-storey a and g) and a relatively even rhythm, while numerals follow the same narrow, vertically oriented logic for a cohesive set.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text where vertical emphasis and space efficiency are useful, such as posters, magazine titling, brand wordmarks, and packaging panels. It can also perform well in UI contexts for navigation, labels, and condensed data displays where a clean, compact voice is needed.
The overall tone is contemporary and efficient, with a slightly engineered, architectural character. Its condensed stance reads assertive and space-saving, while the softened rectangular rounding keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result feels suited to modern interfaces and editorial titling where clarity and compactness are priorities.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed sans that maximizes character per line without sacrificing legibility. By combining monoline strokes with superellipse-based rounding, it aims for a controlled, contemporary look that remains friendly and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Capitals and numerals lean strongly vertical, creating a high, columnar color that stays consistent across lines. The superellipse rounding is most noticeable in letters like O, D, U, and the digit 0, where the shapes feel subtly squared. Spacing appears tuned for tight setting, producing a compact, organized page texture in the sample text.
