A condensed geometric sans with a consistent, even stroke and tall proportions. Round characters are drawn with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) contours, giving O, C, and G a softly squared silhouette rather than a perfect circle. Corners and terminals are generally clean and abrupt, while bowls and counters stay open and uncluttered; the overall rhythm is tight and vertical. Numerals follow the same narrow, streamlined construction, with clear, simple forms suited to compact settings.
Works best in headlines and short display copy where its condensed width and distinctive rounded-square rounds can be appreciated. It suits branding, packaging, and signage systems that need a clean, space-efficient voice with a recognizable geometric signature.
The design reads as cool, modernist, and slightly retro—evoking mid-century signage and streamlined display typography. Its narrow stance and rounded-square curves create a crisp, engineered feel that stays friendly rather than mechanical.
Likely intended as a space-saving display sans that remains highly controlled and visually consistent. The rounded-rectangle construction appears designed to differentiate the font from neutral condensed grotesks while keeping a minimal, modern tone.
Uppercase forms emphasize geometry and symmetry, while lowercase remains similarly restrained and compact, keeping word shapes neat and column-like. The superelliptic rounds are the defining visual hook, adding character without introducing decorative flourish.
