This sans serif shows a condensed, vertically oriented build with monolinear strokes and gently rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with a squared-round, superellipse-like logic, giving bowls and counters a softly rectilinear feel rather than purely circular geometry. The lowercase has a notably tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, supporting a tight, economical rhythm. Overall spacing reads even and controlled, with open apertures and simple, unembellished forms that keep the texture crisp in paragraphs.
It suits UI and product typography where a compact width helps fit labels, navigation, and dense information. The tall lowercase and clear, simple construction also work well for editorial subheads, captions, and straightforward signage where a clean, contemporary voice is desired.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a utilitarian, interface-friendly neutrality. Its compact proportions and rounded-rectangle curves add a subtle contemporary softness without becoming playful or decorative, making it feel efficient and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, contemporary sans with a controlled, rounded-rectangle geometry—aiming for clarity and consistency across both display-sized headings and smaller text settings.
Rounded corners and flat-ish curve transitions create a consistent ‘squared roundness’ across letters and numerals, which helps the font maintain a cohesive silhouette. The narrow stance increases vertical emphasis and can make lines feel tall and tidy, especially in mixed-case settings.
