A highly condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Curves are drawn as softened, superelliptic ovals and rounded-rectangle bowls, giving counters a clean, tubular look. Strokes stay even with minimal modulation, terminals are plain and neatly cut, and joins are crisp, producing a spare, linear texture. Spacing appears measured to keep the narrow forms readable, while the overall rhythm stays smooth and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where verticality and economy of width are advantages—such as magazine layouts, posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging copy when set with comfortable tracking and adequate size, but its extreme condensation makes it less ideal for long passages of small text.
The tone is restrained and contemporary, balancing a clinical modernity with a slightly refined, fashion-forward feel. Its narrow, towering silhouettes convey precision and calm, lending a cool, composed voice rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a sleek condensed voice with geometric, softened forms—combining space-saving proportions with a polished, editorial presence. Its consistent stroke and tidy terminals prioritize clarity and a modern, stylized silhouette over expressive calligraphic detail.
Round letters (like O/C/G/Q) read as tall ovals with softened corners, reinforcing the superelliptic theme. The numerals follow the same condensed logic, with simple, linear construction that matches the text weight and keeps the set visually uniform.
