A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded, superellipse-like curves that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Vertical stems dominate, with restrained joins and terminals that read clean and squarely finished rather than flared. Round letters (C, O, Q, e, o) are drawn as narrow rounded-rectangle forms, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay sharp and economical. Numerals follow the same condensed, even-weight construction with compact bowls and consistent stroke endings.
Works well for space-conscious headlines, posters, and packaging where a narrow footprint is valuable. The clean, rounded construction also suits UI and wayfinding-style typography, as well as labels and tabular or data-adjacent settings where an orderly rhythm is preferred.
The overall tone is spare and contemporary, leaning toward utilitarian clarity rather than warmth. Its narrow rhythm and rounded geometry give it a quietly futuristic, signage-like feel without becoming playful. It reads as purposeful and orderly, suited to information-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans voice with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton. It aims for high economy of space and consistent, system-like geometry while keeping counters clear enough for practical reading.
The lowercase shows a straightforward, single-storey a and g, and the punctuation and curves maintain the same tight aperture logic seen across the caps. In text, the consistent stroke weight and tall proportions create a strong vertical cadence, making it look compact while still remaining legible at display and UI sizes.
