A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a squared, superellipse construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle corners rather than true circles. The proportions are tall and compact, with tight counters and a consistent stroke rhythm that keeps forms clean and even. Terminals are largely flat and vertical/horizontal, and round letters like O/C/G read as softened rectangles, while straight-sided letters (H, N, M) feel rigid and engineered. Numerals follow the same compact geometry, with squared-off bowls and clear, simplified silhouettes.
It suits space-constrained applications where a compact footprint is helpful, such as UI labels, navigation, and information design. The engineered geometry also works well for branding, packaging, and headlines that want a clean, contemporary feel with a subtle rounded-square character.
The overall tone is modern and functional, with a slightly industrial, signage-like clarity. Its rounded-square curves add a friendly softness to an otherwise technical, no-nonsense voice, making it feel contemporary and urban rather than neutral or humanist.
The design appears intended to translate a superellipse/rounded-rectangle system into a practical condensed sans, balancing strict construction with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes consistency and economy of space while maintaining a crisp, contemporary presence in display and interface contexts.
The condensed width and tight interior spaces create a dense texture in paragraph settings, emphasizing vertical rhythm. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown, and the sample focuses on basic Latin letters and numerals, where the rounded-rectangle motif stays consistent across cases.
