A tall, tightly set sans with a distinctly condensed stance and generous vertical proportions. Strokes read mostly even, with subtle modulation and clean terminals that keep counters open despite the narrow widths. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a softened, superelliptical feel rather than perfectly circular forms. The overall rhythm is vertical and orderly, with compact sidebearings and consistent stroke behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and display sizes where its condensed width can maximize words per line without losing presence. It also works well for editorial titling, captions, and space-constrained layouts like posters, spines, labels, and signage where a tall, organized texture is desirable.
The tone is modern and editorial, combining efficiency with a slightly refined, designed look. Its compressed letterforms feel purposeful and space-conscious, while the rounded-rectangle curves add a calm, contemporary softness that keeps it from feeling purely industrial.
The design appears aimed at providing a space-saving sans that remains readable and composed, using rounded-rectangle curves to create a contemporary voice and a consistent, engineered rhythm across the character set.
Uppercase structures appear straightforward and architectural, while the lowercase maintains clarity through tall ascenders and simplified shapes. Numerals match the condensed proportions and maintain clear differentiation, supporting compact line setting and strong alignment in tables or headings.
