A condensed, monolinear-to-gently modulated sans with rounded-rectangle construction in the bowls and counters. Curves are squarish and controlled, with softly rounded corners rather than fully circular rounds, giving letters a superelliptical feel. Strokes stay fairly consistent while showing subtle contrast in curved joins; terminals are clean and minimally treated. Proportions emphasize tall ascenders and a relatively short x-height, creating a vertical rhythm and a crisp, space-efficient texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where a tall, condensed silhouette can add sophistication and save horizontal space. It also works well for branding, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from a modern, refined geometry while staying readable in short-to-medium blocks of text.
The overall tone is modern and editorial, balancing a refined, almost architectural geometry with a human softness from the rounded corners. It feels calm, intentional, and slightly upscale rather than playful, lending a composed voice to headlines and display copy.
The design appears intended to merge a condensed editorial sans structure with superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms, producing a distinctive modern texture. It aims for a controlled, elegant personality that reads as contemporary and designed, without relying on decorative flourishes.
In the sample text, the condensed width and short x-height create strong verticality and a tight, fashionable color on the page. Round letters (like O, Q, and lowercase bowls) keep a squared curvature, while straighter letters maintain a clean, understated presence; numerals follow the same tall, compact logic for consistent alignment in mixed settings.
