A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly condensed footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and shoulders a softly squared feel rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and uniform, with consistent stroke endings and little contrast, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters stay relatively open for the width, and the overall texture reads airy and vertical, with narrow letterforms and ample internal whitespace.
Best suited to display settings where vertical economy is useful—headlines, posters, and tight layout columns. The narrow, clean build also fits branding and packaging that want a modern, space-saving wordmark, and it can work for signage or UI labels when set with generous tracking and comfortable sizes.
The tone is streamlined and contemporary, with a restrained, utilitarian confidence. Its condensed geometry and rounded-rectilinear curves suggest a blend of technical signage and modern editorial styling—cool, orderly, and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum height and presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with a neutral sans structure for a contemporary, systematized look.
The uppercase appears especially tall and columnar, while lowercase forms keep a simple, functional construction that maintains clarity in narrow proportions. Rounded corners soften the strict verticality, helping the font avoid feeling harsh despite its compressed width.
