A tightly condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a soft-cornered, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes stay largely uniform, with flat terminals and a strong vertical emphasis; joins are clean and streamlined, keeping texture even in dense lines. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow, upright rhythm, producing a continuous dark columnar color in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short statements where vertical compactness and strong presence are assets. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs to conserve horizontal space while staying highly visible.
The overall tone is stark and contemporary, with an assertive, poster-like presence. Its narrow, vertical stance feels utilitarian and urban, while the rounded corners keep it from reading as harsh or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal width, combining a monoline structure with rounded-rectangular curves for a contemporary, streamlined look. It prioritizes consistent texture and a bold, vertical rhythm for display-forward typography.
The condensed width and minimal differentiation between thick and thin make spacing and rhythm the primary character drivers. In paragraphs it creates a compressed, high-impact texture; in single words it reads like a tall, sculpted wordmark.
