A compact sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly soft-rectilinear construction: rounds are treated as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. Terminals and corners are consistently radiused, giving counters and bowls a squarish feel (notably in C, G, O, and numerals). Proportions are tall and condensed with sturdy verticals, short crossbars, and economical apertures; spacing is tight but even, producing a dense, highly legible rhythm at display sizes. The lowercase is simple and functional, with single-storey a and g and minimal modulation across all glyphs.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding systems that need a compact, high-impact sans with softened geometry. The sturdy shapes and squared curves also work well for signage, packaging, and UI callouts where clarity and a modern, technical flavor are desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and straightforward, combining a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a firm, no-nonsense presence from the compact proportions. It reads as practical and engineered, with a slightly sporty, signage-like clarity.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary geometric sans with rounded-rectangle forms—balancing friendliness and approachability with a compact, assertive footprint for attention-grabbing display typography.
Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with compact shapes and clear differentiation (notably the open, angular diagonals in 2 and 7, and the stacked loops in 8). The capitals feel headline-forward due to their height and weight, while the lowercase maintains a clean, pared-back construction that stays consistent across the set.
