A tall, condensed sans with consistent, even strokes and softly squared (superellipse-like) curves throughout. Vertical stems dominate, giving the letters a narrow footprint and an airy texture, while bowls and joints resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and unbracketed, with restrained curvature that keeps forms crisp and legible; counters stay relatively open despite the compression. Overall spacing feels measured and regular, producing a tidy columnar rhythm in text.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed proportions can save space and create strong vertical rhythm—headlines, posters, labels, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for signage and UI headings when a clean, compact voice is needed, though the narrow forms will benefit from comfortable tracking at smaller sizes.
The tone is modern and minimal with a subtle retro display flavor, like mid-century signage interpreted through a contemporary geometric lens. Its narrow, upright stance reads efficient and orderly, while the softly squared curves add a gentle quirk that keeps it from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving sans that stays friendly and distinctive through rounded-rectangle geometry. It emphasizes consistency and clarity over calligraphic nuance, aiming for a recognizable silhouette and a neat, contemporary texture in short-to-medium text.
In the glyph set, many forms lean on straight-sided constructions with rounded corners, and several letters (notably the round and looped shapes) feel intentionally “rectangularized,” reinforcing the consistent superelliptic theme. The numerals follow the same tall, compact logic, keeping a unified color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
