A tall, tightly set sans with strongly condensed proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes are mostly uniform with softly squared, rounded-corner terminals and rounded-rectangle counters, giving curves a superelliptical feel rather than fully circular bowls. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q keep a narrow oval footprint, while straight-sided forms (H, N, U) emphasize verticality. Joins and shoulders are smooth and restrained, with minimal modulation and no decorative detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-to-medium display text where narrow width helps fit long words or tight columns. It also works well for signage, packaging, and brand systems that want a compact, modern look with softened corners and clear, structured forms.
The overall tone is streamlined and functional, reading as contemporary and space-efficient. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a subtle friendliness to an otherwise strict, engineered voice, balancing modern cleanliness with an industrial, signage-like clarity.
The design appears intended to maximize economy of space while maintaining a clean, contemporary texture. Its superelliptical rounding and consistent stroke treatment suggest a focus on modern legibility and a controlled, systematized aesthetic for display-oriented typography.
Caps appear notably tall and compact, and the lowercase maintains the same narrow, vertical cadence; round letters remain tightly enclosed, reinforcing a consistent condensed texture in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-corner logic, producing a cohesive set suitable for dense informational layouts.
