A tall, tightly set sans with very narrow proportions and even, monoline strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, producing squared-off bowls and softened corners rather than fully circular rounds. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with a crisp, engineered feel; counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm is vertical and streamlined. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with simple geometry and restrained modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where space is limited and a tall, condensed texture is desirable—posters, packaging, and signage in particular. It can also work well for UI labels, navigation, and technical interfaces where a compact footprint and clean geometry support clarity.
The tone is contemporary and utilitarian, leaning toward a measured, technical voice rather than expressive or decorative. Its condensed silhouette and rounded-square curves give it a sleek, signage-like clarity with a subtly futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans that reads cleanly at display sizes while providing a distinctive geometric signature through rounded-square curves. Its consistent stroke weight and narrow set suggest an emphasis on efficient layout, high information density, and a contemporary visual system.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent width and height, while the lowercase introduces slightly more variety (notably in characters like g, j, and y), keeping text readable without losing the narrow, columnar texture. The squared bowls in letters such as O, Q, D, and P help unify the set and reinforce the geometric system.
