A tall, tightly condensed sans with predominantly monoline strokes and softly rounded, superelliptical curves. The letterforms are built from narrow vertical stems with compact bowls and counters, creating an economical texture and a strong vertical rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with subtle rounding where curves meet straight strokes; joins stay crisp and controlled. Uppercase and lowercase maintain consistent proportions, with simple, legible digit shapes that match the same condensed, vertical emphasis.
This font is well suited to headlines and display typography where horizontal space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, editorial headers, and condensed title treatments. It can also work for packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from tight set widths and a clear, modern voice.
The overall tone is brisk and contemporary, projecting a confident, space-saving efficiency. Its narrow proportions and clean construction feel utilitarian and urban, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly vertical sans for strong display presence in narrow columns and tight layouts. Its superelliptical rounding suggests a desire to balance a functional condensed build with a smoother, more contemporary geometric feel.
The condensed structure produces dense word shapes and pronounced vertical patterning, especially in all-caps settings. Curved letters (such as C, G, O, S) keep a restrained width and maintain consistent sidebearing feel, supporting an even, column-like color in text.
