A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and a disciplined, geometric skeleton. Curves are expressed as rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, producing squared counters in letters like O and D and similarly rectilinear bowls in b, p, and q. Stroke endings are clean and mostly unmodulated, with occasional angled joins on diagonals (V, W, Y, X) that keep the rhythm sharp. Overall spacing is compact and vertical, with consistent stem widths and a narrow set that emphasizes height and alignment.
Best suited to display settings where a tall, condensed voice is desirable—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and wayfinding/signage. It can also work for short UI labels or data callouts when space is tight and a clean, geometric look is needed.
The tone is sleek and orderly, leaning toward technical and architectural signage aesthetics. Its streamlined shapes and squared curves give it a mildly retro, Art-Deco-tinged flavor while still reading as modern and minimal.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, modern display sans built from superelliptic construction, prioritizing a consistent vertical rhythm and a precise, engineered feel.
The digit set follows the same condensed geometry, with simplified, open forms and rounded-rectangular shaping where applicable. Uppercase forms are particularly tall and linear, while lowercase maintains a similarly narrow cadence, reinforcing a uniform, vertical texture in text.
