A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. Counters are tight and vertically oriented, with rounded-rectangle bowls in letters like B, D, O, and P, and clean, straight-sided stems throughout. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, keeping edges crisp while avoiding sharp corners. The lowercase is straightforward and functional, with single-storey a and g, a simple ear on r, and a compact, open e; figures follow the same narrow, uniform rhythm for dense setting.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a tall, space-saving footprint is desirable, as well as packaging, labels, and environmental signage that benefit from a condensed, uniform rhythm. It can also work for UI captions or dashboards when used at sufficiently large sizes and with considered spacing.
The overall tone is modern and workmanlike, evoking signage, labeling, and engineered systems where space economy and clarity matter. Its rounded corners soften the otherwise strict geometry, giving a calm, contemporary feel rather than an aggressive one.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, condensed sans optimized for economical line length and strong vertical presence, while using rounded-rectangle forms to maintain friendliness and consistency across letters and numbers.
Vertical emphasis is strong across both cases, producing a steady texture and consistent color in paragraphs. The design’s tight apertures and compact spacing read best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking, especially in longer lines and smaller sizes.
