A compact sans with uniform stroke weight and a distinctly squared, superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, giving letters like O, C, and D a boxy roundness, while terminals are clean and mostly flat. Proportions are tall and condensed with tight sidebearings, and many forms rely on simple geometric joins that keep the silhouette crisp at display sizes. Lowercase forms are restrained with relatively small counters and a modest x-height, reinforcing the narrow, vertical rhythm across words and lines.
Works best where compact width and high visual impact are useful, such as headlines, posters, branding lockups, packaging, and short signage messages. It can also serve for UI labels and navigational text when space is limited, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the geometric forms stay clear.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a subtle industrial flavor from the rounded-square geometry. It reads as confident and no-nonsense—more engineered than expressive—while still feeling approachable due to the softened corners.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, contemporary sans with a distinctive superelliptical backbone—combining straight-sided structure with softened corners for a clean, engineered look.
Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, blocky logic, producing a consistent texture in mixed-case settings. The tight internal spaces and compact apertures suggest it will feel densest in heavier settings or at smaller sizes, where the rounded-square counters become a defining personality trait.
