A condensed sans with superelliptic construction: rounds resolve into rounded-rectangle curves and corners rather than circular bowls. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, producing a steady, even texture in text. Apertures are relatively closed and counters are compact, while terminals are crisp and squared-off, giving letters a taut, engineered feel. Proportions favor height over width, with a tall lowercase that keeps word shapes open and readable despite the narrow set.
Well suited to interface typography where compact width and clear, consistent forms help fit labels, menus, and dense information. It also works effectively for headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from a modern condensed voice and a slightly technical edge.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a subtly industrial character. Its rounded-rect geometry reads as technical and systematic rather than friendly or calligraphic, making the impression controlled and pragmatic.
The design appears intended to combine space-saving proportions with a distinctive superelliptic geometry, delivering a contemporary sans that feels engineered, consistent, and practical for both display and functional text.
In running text the condensed rhythm is consistent and space-efficient, with a noticeably vertical emphasis. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic and maintain uniform stroke weight, helping data and headings feel visually integrated with body copy.
