A tall, condensed sans with a monoline stroke and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. Round characters such as C, G, O, and Q read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, giving the face a structured, engineered geometry. Counters are compact but clear, apertures stay open, and terminals are clean and largely unmodulated, producing an even rhythm in text. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with simple, streamlined forms.
This font suits space-conscious settings where a clean, contemporary sans is needed, such as UI labels, navigation, captions, and dense editorial layouts. It can also work well for data-driven typography—tables, charts, and product information—where a narrow footprint and steady rhythm help fit more content without feeling overly stylized.
The overall tone is modern and understated, with a practical, technical feel. Its narrow stance and controlled curves create a disciplined, efficient voice that stays neutral rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans voice with a distinctive superellipse geometry that remains legible in continuous text. Its consistent strokes and controlled rounding suggest a focus on clarity and efficient horizontal economy.
Capitals appear especially tall and linear, with simplified joins and consistent stroke endings that help maintain clarity in tight widths. The squared-round construction is most evident in O/Q and the curved bowls, which keep corners softly rounded while preserving a rectilinear backbone.
