A condensed geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms, with consistent stroke thickness and squared terminals softened by generous corner radii. Curves tend to resolve into straight-ish sides, giving bowls and counters a boxy, pill-shaped feel (notably in O, D, P, and lowercase n/m). Apertures are generally controlled and somewhat narrow, and verticals dominate the rhythm, producing a tall, efficient texture. Details like the simple one-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and straight crossbars keep the construction crisp and systematic.
Works well for UI labels, dashboards, and product interfaces where a compact, systematic sans helps conserve horizontal space. It also suits headlines, wayfinding/signage, and tech-forward branding where a sleek, engineered look is desired. In longer passages it will read best at comfortable sizes with adequate tracking to offset the condensed width.
The overall tone reads modern and technical with a subtle retro digital flavor—clean, engineered, and slightly futuristic. Its rounded-square geometry adds friendliness without becoming playful, keeping the voice practical and disciplined.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans with a distinctive rounded-square skeleton—combining the neutrality of a workhorse face with a recognizable superelliptic signature for modern display and interface contexts.
In text, the tight proportions and uniform strokes create a steady, gridlike cadence that suits signage-style clarity. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with open shapes and straightforward forms that match the alphabet’s modular feel.
