A condensed sans with monolinear strokes and a distinctly squared, superellipse construction. Curves terminate in softened corners, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than a pure circle. Counters are compact and vertical stress is emphasized by tall proportions, while joints and curves stay clean and controlled. The overall rhythm is tight and efficient, with consistent stroke weight and minimal modulation across the set.
Works best for headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where a compact footprint and strong vertical presence are helpful. It suits packaging, signage, UI labels, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a clear, engineered sans with softened corners for approachability.
The tone is modern and purposeful, combining a technical, engineered look with friendly rounding at the edges. It feels confident and direct—more utilitarian than playful—suited to contemporary branding that wants clarity with a slightly softened, humanized finish.
Likely drawn to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans voice with a geometric superellipse skeleton. The softened corners and consistent stroke weight suggest an intent to balance industrial clarity with a less harsh, more contemporary feel.
The figures share the same condensed, sturdy build and read well at display sizes, with simple, high-contrast silhouettes against the page. Uppercase forms feel especially tall and poster-ready, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure that preserves legibility in short text settings.
