A sleek sans with a condensed stance and a largely monolinear stroke, built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Curves resolve into soft corners and superelliptic bowls, while verticals stay straight and steady, giving the design a precise, engineered rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, and counters tend toward tall, rectangular spaces, producing an orderly texture in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded-rect pattern, keeping the overall color consistent in mixed settings.
This font works well where space is limited and a clean, modern voice is needed—such as UI labels, navigation, posters, and compact headlines. Its consistent, rounded-rect construction also suits identity systems, packaging, and signage that aim for a streamlined, tech-forward look.
The overall tone is cool, efficient, and contemporary, with a subtle retro-tech flavor. Its narrow proportions and rounded geometry feel streamlined and controlled, suggesting clarity and systematized design rather than warmth or expressiveness.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened, approachable corners, creating a narrow sans that feels systematic and contemporary. The consistent rounded-rectangle motif suggests a focus on visual coherence across letters and numerals, optimized for neat, compact typography.
Round forms like O/Q read as squarish ovals with softened corners, and many glyphs show a consistent preference for straight-sided bowls and compact apertures. The punctuation and dots appear crisp and minimal, reinforcing the font’s disciplined, grid-friendly character.
