A condensed, monoline sans with squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in counters and bowls. Strokes keep a steady thickness with minimal contrast, and terminals tend toward flat or softly rounded ends for a controlled, engineered feel. Proportions are compact with tight apertures and a narrow set, while key shapes (like O, C, and G) read as squarish rounds rather than true circles. The lowercase shows a two-storey a, a simple single-storey g, and a compact, economical rhythm that stays consistent across text.
Well-suited to interface typography, information design, and signage where compact width and consistent stroke weight help maintain clarity. It can also serve in editorial subheads, packaging, and brand systems that want a contemporary, engineered look without heavy stylization.
The overall tone is modern and workmanlike, with a disciplined, technical character. Its squared-round geometry suggests signage, interface systems, and contemporary branding rather than expressive or calligraphic moods.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient, highly consistent sans with superellipse-driven forms, balancing modern geometry with readable, text-ready details. The goal appears to be a neutral but distinctive system face that stays orderly in longer settings while retaining a recognizable squared-round signature.
Numbers and capitals share the same squared-round logic, producing a sturdy, slightly industrial texture. In the sample text, the condensed width and firm terminals create a strong vertical cadence that holds together well at display and subhead sizes.
