A compact sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superellipse-derived curves. Round characters (C, G, O, Q, 0) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, giving the design a controlled, geometric rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with subtly softened corners; apertures and counters stay fairly open for the width, supporting clarity at text sizes. Uppercase forms are straightforward and architectural, while the lowercase keeps simple constructions with a single-storey g and a tall, straight-limbed y; overall spacing feels tidy and slightly tight, reinforcing the condensed, efficient texture.
Well-suited to interface typography, product and packaging copy, signage/wayfinding, and data-forward contexts where an orderly, compact texture is helpful. It also works for general-purpose editorial text when a modern, restrained sans is desired.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, with a quiet geometric precision that feels dependable rather than expressive. Its softened squareness adds a mild friendliness, but the overall impression remains functional and system-like.
The design appears intended as a practical, space-efficient sans that stays highly regular in rhythm, using superelliptic rounding to soften a geometric backbone. It prioritizes clarity and consistency over stylistic flourishes, aiming for a versatile, contemporary workhorse.
Key shapes emphasize verticality and rectangular geometry: the i and j use round dots, the 1 is a plain vertical with minimal shaping, and the 0 follows the same rounded-rectangle logic as O. The sample text shows an even, steady color line-to-line, with consistent stroke weight and minimal visual noise.
