A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared, superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls rather than true circles. Proportions are tall and narrow, with compact counters and a tight, vertical rhythm that reads efficiently in stacked lines. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and joins stay simple and consistent, giving letters a schematic, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are straight-sided and disciplined, while lowercase maintains similar geometry with compact bowls and straightforward diagonals; numerals follow the same narrow, squared-round logic for a uniform texture.
Works well where horizontal space is limited and a clear, modern tone is needed, such as UI/UX labels, navigation, dashboards, and product labeling. Its tall, condensed caps also suit posters, headings, and compact branding applications that benefit from a strong vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is contemporary and functional, with a slightly industrial, signage-like character. Its condensed stance and squared-round curves suggest efficiency, precision, and a modern tech sensibility rather than warmth or expressiveness.
Likely designed to deliver an efficient, space-saving sans with a distinctive squared-round geometry, balancing neutrality with a recognizable, system-like silhouette. The consistent stroke and disciplined curves point to a goal of clarity and uniformity across letters and numerals in practical display and interface contexts.
Round letters (like O/Q and related bowls) lean toward rounded rectangles, and the family’s spacing produces a tight, even color that can look assertive at larger sizes. The condensed fit and compact apertures can increase density in long passages, making it feel more suited to concise text blocks than airy editorial typography.
