A highly condensed, monoline sans with a tall, vertically stretched silhouette and generous internal whitespace. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse-like geometry, giving bowls and counters a softly squared roundness rather than pure circles. Strokes stay even throughout, terminals are clean and unadorned, and joins are straightforward, producing a consistent, linear rhythm. The capitals are narrow and stately; the lowercase keeps clear, open forms with simple ascenders/descenders, and the figures follow the same slim, streamlined construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings where vertical emphasis and tight horizontal footprint are advantages—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial callouts or UI labels where a condensed, clean voice is desired, especially when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone feels modern and utilitarian, with a quiet elegance that reads as contemporary and slightly architectural. Its condensed verticality adds a poised, poster-like presence, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
Designed to provide a sleek condensed sans that prioritizes vertical economy and visual consistency, pairing strict monoline construction with softly squared, superellipse-inspired curves for a contemporary, systematized feel.
The narrow proportions create strong vertical cadence in text, and the rounded-rectangular curves help maintain clarity in tight widths. At larger sizes the uniform stroke and compressed widths become a defining stylistic feature, emphasizing structure and alignment.
