A compact, tall sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and a monoline stroke. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters a squarish, engineered feel. Terminals are blunt and consistently rounded, with generally closed apertures and a disciplined, even rhythm across text. Numerals follow the same boxy-round logic, with a narrow, vertical stance and simple, sturdy shapes.
Works well where space is limited and a strong, compact voice is needed—such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging. It can also serve branding systems that want a contemporary, engineered sans with softened corners for approachability.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with an industrial clarity that feels purpose-built and space-efficient. Its rounded corners keep the voice approachable while the condensed proportions and tight forms read as confident and no-nonsense.
Likely intended as a space-saving display-to-text sans that blends an industrial, condensed structure with rounded-rectangle geometry to create a distinctive but highly legible texture. The consistent stroke and softened corners suggest a focus on clarity and modern identity work without decorative features.
The design leans on straight stems and controlled arcs, producing a uniform texture in paragraphs and a strong vertical emphasis in headlines. The rounded joints and corners create a distinctive “softened hardware” personality that remains crisp at display sizes.
