A highly condensed, vertical typeface with clean, mostly monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves throughout. Counters are narrow and tall, with smooth, consistent curvature in bowls and a tight, even rhythm across words. Terminals are generally plain and controlled, with occasional soft rounding; joins are tidy and the overall texture stays light and open despite the compressed width. The numerals follow the same tall, narrow construction, keeping a consistent width and alignment with the uppercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial settings where its condensed proportions create strong vertical rhythm and efficient use of horizontal space. It can work well for fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine mastheads, posters, and packaging where a sleek, modern voice is desired; for longer passages, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is sleek and refined, balancing a contemporary, editorial cool with a slightly classic sense of poise. Its compressed elegance reads as fashion-forward and architectural, with a calm, understated confidence rather than loud display styling.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, space-saving condensed voice with a consistent superelliptical geometry and a clean, contemporary finish. Its narrow proportions and controlled curves suggest a focus on editorial impact and refined branding rather than neutral body-text invisibility.
Because of the extreme horizontal compression, inner spaces can become slender in letters like B, e, a, and s, which emphasizes verticality and gives lines a distinctive, high-contrast-in-space texture. The round forms feel more like softened rectangles than circles, reinforcing a disciplined, engineered look.
