A compact, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle curves and softened terminals that keep the shapes crisp rather than bubbly. Strokes are fairly even with modest modulation, and counters stay open for clarity at text sizes. The caps are tall and narrow, while the lowercase shows a comparatively short x-height and straightforward, single-storey forms in places, producing a tight, economical texture. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and rounded geometry, matching the overall rhythm without calling attention to quirky details.
Works well where space is at a premium—UI labels, menus, dashboards, and dense editorial settings—thanks to its narrow fit and open counters. The tall caps and consistent rhythm also suit wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding that needs a modern, tidy presence.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic with a mild friendliness from the rounded corners. It reads as orderly and efficient, suggesting a utilitarian voice that still feels approachable rather than austere.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving sans with a controlled, rounded-rectangle construction that remains legible in continuous text. The goal appears to be a modern, system-friendly texture with a gentle warmth, balancing efficiency with approachability.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for a compact line, creating a steady, vertical cadence in paragraphs. Round letters lean toward squarish ovals, giving the font a slightly engineered feel that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
