A slim, condensed sans with consistent monoline strokes and a strongly vertical rhythm. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction, giving bowls and counters a soft-squared feel, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than flared. The overall texture is open and even, with generous internal space for such a narrow width, and a slightly mechanical regularity across rounds and straights. Figures follow the same narrow, streamlined construction, maintaining a tidy, uniform color in text.
Best suited to settings where space is tight and a clean, contemporary voice is needed—such as UI labels, navigation elements, product labeling, and compact headlines. It can also work well for posters and signage where a tall, streamlined presence helps maintain clarity at a distance.
The tone is cool and contemporary, balancing friendliness from the rounded-rectangle shapes with a precise, engineered restraint. Its light footprint and condensed stance suggest a refined, utilitarian modernism—sleek rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, modern sans with a distinctive superelliptical geometry—combining compact width, consistent stroke weight, and rounded-rectilinear forms for a crisp, contemporary look.
In continuous reading, the font maintains a steady cadence with clear separation between characters, and the squarish-round geometry creates a distinctive silhouette that feels both soft and structured. The narrow proportions emphasize verticality, which can add a sense of height and efficiency to headlines and UI labeling.
