A tall, condensed sans with softly squared (superellipse-like) curves and smooth, rounded terminals. Strokes read mostly even at text sizes, with subtle modulation that becomes more noticeable in curves and joins, giving the forms a crisp, high-finish look rather than a purely monoline construction. Counters are generally open and vertically oriented; bowls and rounded characters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry. The rhythm is tight and economical, with long ascenders/descenders and compact widths that keep lines feeling vertical and orderly.
This font is well suited to headlines and subheads where a compact width can fit more characters per line without losing presence. It also works well for editorial design, branding systems, and packaging where a refined, contemporary sans is needed with a bit of distinctive geometry. In longer passages it can serve as a clean text face when generous leading and sizing are used to support its narrow proportions.
The overall tone is polished and contemporary, with a slightly fashion/editorial sensibility. Its narrow stance and clean curvature feel confident and premium, balancing minimalism with a hint of sophistication. The lettershapes suggest restraint and clarity rather than playfulness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed sans with superellipse-influenced round forms—aiming for a sleek, space-efficient voice that still feels upscale and carefully drawn. The consistent terminal rounding and controlled curves suggest an emphasis on smoothness, clarity, and a cohesive typographic texture across mixed-case and numerals.
Uppercase forms emphasize verticality (notably in E/F/H/I/L/T/U), while round letters like C/G/O/Q keep a controlled, softened rectangularity. Numerals are similarly condensed and crisp, with clear differentiation and consistent terminal treatment that suits both display and text settings.
