A condensed, monoline sans with softly squared curves and rounded-rectangle counters that give many letters a superelliptical feel. Strokes stay even and verticals are prominent, while terminals are clean and gently rounded rather than sharply cut. Capitals are tall and compact, with narrow bowls in B, P, and R and a clean, open C. Lowercase follows the same narrow rhythm, with single-storey a and g, a straight, compact r, and a slender t with a short crossbar; figures are similarly compact with rounded corners and simple construction.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where space is tight—packaging, labels, posters, UI headings, and signage. The compact width and uniform strokes help maintain a steady rhythm in all-caps lines and mixed-case settings, especially when a clean, slightly retro geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone is approachable and slightly retro, with a tidy, engineered neatness that still feels warm due to the rounded corners. Its condensed rhythm adds urgency and economy, while the soft geometry keeps it from feeling harsh or overly corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly legible sans built from softened rectangular geometry—balancing efficient width with a friendly, contemporary-retro character. The consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction suggest a focus on clarity, reproducibility, and distinctive texture in titles and branding.
Round forms (O, Q, 0) read more like rounded rectangles than perfect circles, creating a distinctive, consistent texture across text. The ampersand is simplified and compact, matching the font’s pragmatic, space-saving voice.
