A condensed geometric sans with a monoline stroke and a soft, squared-round (superelliptical) construction in bowls and curves. The drawing favors tall proportions, compact apertures, and rounded terminals, producing a sleek vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and consistent, while horizontals stay crisp; overall spacing reads tight but controlled, with clear differentiation across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a condensed, clean voice is desirable—headlines, subheads, posters, logotypes, and packaging panels. It can also work for UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding where vertical economy matters, provided sizes aren’t pushed too small due to the slender strokes.
The tone is cool and contemporary, balancing a clinical, engineered feel with gentle friendliness from the rounded rectangles. Its narrow silhouette and thin stroke give it an airy, refined presence that can feel both modernist and slightly retro-futurist depending on context.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving, contemporary sans with a distinctive superelliptical geometry—clean enough for interface and information design, yet stylized enough to carry a branded, design-forward character in display settings.
Several forms lean toward streamlined legibility: round letters are vertically oriented, counters remain open despite the narrow set, and the numerals keep a simple, graphic clarity. The overall texture is even, making lines of text appear light and neatly disciplined.
