A highly condensed sans with tall proportions and consistent, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off smoothness rather than true geometric circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with minimal modulation, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, with a single-storey “a” and a simple “g,” while the numerals are narrow and aligned to the same tight, vertical cadence.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where horizontal space is limited—posters, packaging, editorial openers, and wayfinding or signage. It can also work for UI labels and compact navigation where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more characters per line while keeping a clean, contemporary look.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, prioritizing clarity and space economy over warmth. Its condensed stance and squared-round curves feel industrial and organized, with a subtle technical flavor that reads as efficient and no-nonsense.
Designed to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with a controlled, consistent construction. The superellipse-inspired curves and uniform stroke behavior suggest an intention to feel systematic and contemporary, emphasizing legibility and a disciplined texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
The extreme narrowness creates a strong vertical texture in lines of text, with tight internal counters that can look dense at smaller sizes. The rounded-rect geometry is especially noticeable in letters like O/C/G and in the digits, reinforcing a consistent, system-like aesthetic.
