A compact, tall-proportioned sans with monoline strokes and softly squared curves. Rounds (such as O, C, G, and 0) are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters a neat, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are generally flat and crisp, with gentle corner rounding that keeps the texture smooth at text sizes. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with consistently narrow letterforms and restrained apertures that produce an even, dense typographic color.
Well-suited to interfaces, navigation systems, and information design where condensed width helps fit labels and headings into limited space. It also works effectively for posters and packaging that benefit from a modern, structured voice and a dense, even text color in short blocks of copy.
The tone is contemporary and functional, with an efficient, space-saving presence. Its geometry and rounded-rect forms suggest a technical, signage-adjacent personality—orderly and pragmatic rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient sans with a geometric, superellipse-based identity—balancing strict, rectilinear construction with softened corners for legibility and a polished finish.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls and rounded-rectangle counters create a recognizable silhouette in numerals and uppercase. The lowercase shows simple, straightforward construction with compact joins and minimal modulation, keeping the set cohesive across mixed-case text.
