A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a distinctly squared-round (superellipse) construction in bowls and counters. Curves resolve into flattened arcs with softly rounded corners, while vertical stems stay straight and even, creating a tight, rhythmic texture. Apertures are generally compact, terminals are clean and undecorated, and the overall drawing favors simple geometric joins over calligraphic nuance. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic with uniform stroke thickness and controlled, rectangular inner spaces.
This style suits space-constrained settings such as UI labels, navigation, dashboards, and data-heavy layouts where narrow letterforms help fit more characters per line. It also works well for concise headlines, posters, and wayfinding where a clean, geometric voice and strong vertical rhythm are desirable.
The font reads as contemporary and functional, with a slightly industrial, engineered feel. Its compact geometry and rounded-rectangle forms give it a confident, no-nonsense tone that still feels approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans optimized for clear structure and efficient horizontal economy. Its superellipse-based shaping suggests a goal of consistent geometry and a controlled, contemporary look across both display text and short reading passages.
In text, the condensed width produces a dense typographic color and strong vertical cadence, making lines feel efficient and space-saving. The superellipse curvature is especially noticeable in letters like O/Q and in rounded lowercase forms, which helps maintain consistency across the set.
