A compact sans with a tall, narrow set and monoline strokes throughout. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and arches a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are consistently softened, and many joins resolve into gentle radii, creating a smooth, even texture in text. The lowercase shows simplified, contemporary constructions (single-storey a and g), while caps stay straightforward and tidy, maintaining a steady rhythm across mixed-case settings.
Well-suited to interface labels, navigation, and product UI where a compact footprint is helpful and the softened geometry keeps things personable. It also works well for modern branding, packaging, and headline treatments that want a clean sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle signature.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, mixing a clean, engineered backbone with softened edges that feel friendly rather than clinical. Its rounded-rectilinear curves add a subtle character that reads slightly playful and “designed,” without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient sans with a contemporary geometric flavor, using superelliptical curves and rounded terminals to balance clarity with warmth. It aims for a consistent, even texture and an identifiable silhouette that remains functional in everyday typography.
The narrow proportions and consistent stroke weight create a dense, efficient line that holds together well at larger sizes and in short blocks. Round letters retain a subtly squared silhouette, and punctuation and numerals appear straightforward and legible, reinforcing a practical, system-like voice.
