A condensed sans with tall proportions and a consistent, hairline-like stroke. Curves are built from smooth, rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared, superelliptical feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are mostly straight and clean, with restrained joins and minimal modulation, creating an even, linear rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The spacing reads open for such a narrow design, helping maintain clarity in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where space is limited and a tall, refined texture is desired. It can work well for posters, packaging, and brand systems that want a contemporary, minimal look, and it also performs in short text blocks or captions when generous size and leading are available.
The overall tone is contemporary and restrained, with a crisp, engineered neatness. Its narrow, vertical stance and softened geometry suggest a modern editorial voice that feels efficient, orderly, and understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice while staying friendly and contemporary through softly squared, rounded geometry. Its disciplined stroke behavior and uncluttered details aim for clarity and consistency in modern display and editorial applications.
The sample text shows strong vertical emphasis and a regular cadence, with rounded forms (notably in bowls and the zero) balancing the strict condensation. The figures appear simple and streamlined, matching the letterforms’ minimal construction for consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
