A condensed sans with tall proportions and a largely monoline stroke. Curves are built from softened, superellipse-like forms, giving round letters a squarish, rounded-rectangle feel. Terminals are clean and straight, counters are compact and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is tight with a consistent vertical emphasis across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It works well where space is limited and vertical economy matters, such as UI labels, navigation, captions, and compact branding. The condensed build also suits posters and headlines that need a crisp, modern presence without heavy weight, and it can perform in signage or wayfinding systems that prioritize clean, consistent shapes.
The font reads as restrained and contemporary, with a quiet efficiency suited to information-forward typography. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded geometry evoke a technical, system-like neutrality rather than a decorative voice.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, contemporary sans for space-saving typography, combining a strict vertical structure with softened, geometric rounding to keep the texture approachable and coherent at display and interface sizes.
Uppercase shapes stay simple and architectural, while lowercase maintains clarity with single-storey forms (notably the ‘a’ and ‘g’) and short, tidy joins. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with open, straightforward constructions that align visually with the letterforms.
