A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are squarish rather than circular, with consistently softened corners and straight-sided bowls that keep counters compact. Vertical stems dominate, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins remain crisp without visible flare or contrast. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with simple, highly regular letterforms and uniform stroke behavior across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well where a clean, space-saving sans is needed, such as UI labels, wayfinding, product packaging, and compact headlines. The condensed proportions can help fit more characters per line in display settings, while the consistent geometry supports systematic branding and information design.
The face reads as cool, controlled, and contemporary, with a slightly retro-futurist edge reminiscent of signage and industrial labeling. Its restrained geometry and rounded corners soften the austerity, keeping the tone approachable while still feeling precise and engineered.
Likely designed to deliver a streamlined, space-efficient sans that feels engineered and contemporary, using superelliptic curves to create a distinctive but disciplined silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on consistency, quick recognition, and a cohesive geometric voice across letters and numbers.
Distinctive superelliptic rounds give letters like O/C/G/S and related lowercase forms a squared-off softness that differentiates it from purely circular geometrics. The condensed width and compact counters increase the sense of efficiency; punctuation and figures match the same rounded, streamlined logic.
