A compact, vertically oriented sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into soft, squared-off corners, and many joins and terminals feel clipped or flattened rather than tapered. Counters are narrow and tall, giving letters a stacked, columnar silhouette, while round characters like O/Q read as superelliptical ovals with consistent interior spacing. The overall rhythm is tight and economical, with simple forms, minimal modulation, and a sturdy, engineered geometry that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
It performs well where space is limited and a clean, condensed voice is needed—UI labels, navigation, dashboards, and tabular or data-heavy layouts. The tall proportions also suit headlines and poster typography where vertical emphasis and compact line length are desirable.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary, with a slightly industrial, signage-like clarity. Its narrow, upright stance and squared rounding convey efficiency and restraint rather than warmth or playfulness, suggesting a functional voice suited to information-forward typography.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving sans with a consistent, systematized geometry and soft-square rounding, balancing strict construction with approachable corners for clear, repeatable typography in functional contexts.
The lowercase is built for dense set text, with compact bowls and short horizontal elements that keep word shapes narrow. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, producing a coherent, system-like feel across alphanumerics.
