A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into soft, squared terminals, and bowls/counters tend toward superelliptical shapes rather than perfect circles. Proportions are tall with compact widths, producing a steady vertical rhythm; joins are smooth and consistent, and many forms (like the arches in m/n and the rounded caps on I/J/U) emphasize an engineered, modular feel.
Its compact width and simplified shapes suit interface labels, wayfinding, and product/tech branding where space efficiency and clarity are important. It also performs well in short headlines and packaging copy that benefits from a clean, contemporary voice and consistent rounded geometry.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing a technical, UI-like precision with softened corners that keep it from feeling harsh. It reads as contemporary and streamlined, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor due to the rounded-rectangle geometry.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, highly consistent sans built from rounded-rectilinear forms—prioritizing clarity, uniform stroke behavior, and a cohesive geometric identity for modern applications.
Distinctive details include a single-storey a and g, a looped descender on q, and a w constructed from rounded arches rather than sharp diagonals. Numerals follow the same softened geometry, with open, rounded forms that stay consistent with the uppercase rhythm.
