A tall, compact sans with monoline strokes and strongly vertical proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are mostly blunt with soft rounding, and the overall rhythm is tight and economical, with narrow letters and relatively generous vertical span. Numerals and capitals keep the same disciplined geometry, producing a consistent, high-clarity texture in lines of text.
This font suits compact typography where space is limited and clarity is critical, such as navigation, interface labels, dashboards, and informational graphics. Its tall, condensed build also works well for headlines and posters that need a modern, controlled presence without heavy weight.
The tone feels modern and engineered—cool, efficient, and slightly industrial. Its condensed stance and squared-round curves suggest contemporary UI, wayfinding, or tech branding, while still reading as approachable due to the softened corners.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, contemporary sans with a distinctive squared-round construction. By combining tall proportions with softened geometry and even stroke weight, it aims for a balance of efficiency, consistency, and friendly modernity.
The lowercase shows a prominent x-height with short ascenders/descenders, helping small-size legibility in dense settings. Round letters (like o/c/e) retain a subtly squared interior, and diagonals (v/w/x) stay crisp, reinforcing a structured, grid-friendly personality.
