A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a pronounced vertical emphasis. Curves are built from squared-off, superelliptical bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, giving round letters a subtly flattened, engineered feel rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and abrupt, with tight apertures and narrow proportions that keep the texture dense and orderly. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, and the figures follow the same narrow, linear construction for a cohesive, space-saving rhythm.
This font is well suited to headlines and short blocks where horizontal economy matters, such as UI labels, navigation, dashboards, and data-dense layouts. It can also work for posters, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a compact, modern look and strong vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with a controlled, technical clarity. Its narrow stance and squared-round curves evoke signage, interfaces, and industrial labeling—functional rather than expressive. The voice is neutral and efficient, projecting a streamlined, modern sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly space-efficient sans that remains clear at display and interface sizes, using squared-round geometry to balance technical precision with approachable softness. Its consistent stroke and compact proportions suggest a focus on system use, legibility in tight columns, and a contemporary industrial aesthetic.
In text, the condensed set-width produces a dark, compact color, while the rounded-rectangle shapes soften the otherwise strict geometry. The punctuation and numerals maintain the same straightforward, no-nonsense construction, supporting a consistent mechanical cadence across lines.
