A compact, display-leaning sans with softly squared, superelliptic curves and a tall, slender overall silhouette. Strokes feel sculpted rather than purely geometric, showing gentle modulation and tapered joins that create crisp interiors and smooth outer curves. Round letters read as rounded-rectangle forms, while verticals stay firm and straight; terminals are clean and often subtly rounded. Spacing is fairly tight and the rhythm is vertical and orderly, giving text a condensed, column-friendly color. Numerals share the same narrow proportions with rounded bowls and clear, high-contrast counters.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where its narrow proportions and polished shapes can create a strong typographic presence. It works well for branding, packaging, and editorial layouts that need a modern, refined voice, especially in space-constrained compositions such as covers, mastheads, and vertical formats.
The tone is contemporary and editorial, mixing minimalism with a slightly luxe, fashion-forward finish. Its narrow stance and sculpted curves create a poised, confident voice that feels elegant without becoming ornate or nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern condensed sans with superelliptic round forms—combining compact efficiency with a sculpted, premium feel for display typography. Its controlled modulation and softened corners aim to keep large-scale text smooth and elegant while preserving clarity and structure.
Uppercase shapes emphasize verticality, with open apertures and softened corners that keep the texture from feeling rigid. Lowercase forms maintain a steady x-height and a smooth, continuous flow, while distinctive bowls and diagonals add personality in headings. The overall impression is clean and premium, with enough idiosyncrasy to stand out in short lines.
