This typeface has a tall, condensed silhouette with monoline strokes and a restrained, even texture. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls, counters, and joins feel softly squared rather than purely circular, giving characters a superellipse-like construction. Terminals are clean and largely unmodulated, with rounded corners and consistent stroke endings that keep the rhythm smooth. Spacing and widths vary by letter but remain tightly set overall, producing a vertical, streamlined word shape.
It works best in display settings where condensed width is useful—headlines, posters, and brand wordmarks that need to fit limited horizontal space. The clean, monoline construction also suits packaging systems, editorial subheads, and UI labels where a crisp, contemporary tone is desired.
The overall tone is modern and minimal, with a calm, engineered neatness. Its softened rectangular curves add a friendly, contemporary edge while still reading as precise and orderly.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangular skeleton. By combining tight proportions with softened corners and consistent strokes, it aims for a contemporary, orderly voice that remains approachable rather than austere.
The narrow proportions create a strong vertical emphasis, and the rounded-rectangular bowls are especially apparent in letters with enclosed counters (such as D, O, P, and a). Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction, maintaining a cohesive texture alongside text.
