A condensed sans with tall, compact proportions and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are fairly even and low-contrast, with rounded terminals and corners that keep the texture smooth despite the narrow set. The letterforms show a slightly handmade regularity: straight stems stay crisp, while curves feel gently inflated and rectangular rather than purely circular. Counters are generally open and simple, helping the tight spacing and narrow widths remain readable in text.
Well-suited to space-saving headlines and subheads where a tall condensed voice is needed, especially in posters, packaging panels, and signage. Its clean, softened forms also make it a good fit for branding systems that want modern clarity without feeling sterile.
The overall tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with a subtle quirk that makes it feel personable rather than strictly technical. Its softened geometry and condensed rhythm suggest efficiency and clarity, but with a casual, approachable edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, efficient sans for display-driven layouts, using rounded-rectangle geometry to add warmth and a recognizable silhouette while maintaining a straightforward, even-stroke construction.
Distinctive narrow capitals and compact numerals create a strong vertical rhythm, and the rounded-rectangle logic shows up consistently across bowls and shoulders. The sample text demonstrates good continuity across mixed-case settings, with a steady color and minimal sparkle even at larger sizes.
