A condensed, monoline sans with strongly vertical proportions and a tight, economical footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters an elongated, capsule-like feel in letters such as O, C, and D. Terminals are clean and squared-off rather than flared, and joins are crisp, with a consistent stroke weight that keeps the texture even. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with compact bowls (B, P, R), while lowercase shows a high-waisted structure and narrow apertures; the overall rhythm reads like a continuous picket of vertical strokes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a condensed voice is needed without losing clarity. It can work well for signage and editorial display settings, especially when paired with generous line spacing to balance its strong vertical emphasis.
The tone is cool and streamlined, with a slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of Art Deco and mid-century signage. Its tall, compressed silhouettes feel efficient and controlled, projecting a refined, metropolitan character rather than a friendly or casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical rounds and monoline construction for a clean, contemporary display look. It prioritizes a distinctive vertical rhythm and consistent geometry to create a recognizable texture in short to medium-length settings.
Round characters maintain a distinctive superelliptical geometry that stays consistent across letters and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive. The narrow apertures and elongated counters emphasize verticality, which can make dense text feel dramatic but also visually intense at smaller sizes.
