A condensed, monolinear sans with superelliptic construction: round letters are built from rounded-rectangle bowls rather than true circles, giving a crisp, engineered feel. Strokes stay even and clean with minimal modulation, while terminals are mostly straight-cut and slightly softened by the overall geometry. The letterforms sit on a noticeable right-leaning slant and maintain tight, efficient proportions; counters are compact but clear, and joins are sturdy and uncluttered. Numerals follow the same narrow, simplified logic, keeping widths economical and forms consistent.
Works well for space-conscious headlines, UI labels, navigation, and informational graphics where a condensed width helps fit more content. It also suits posters, wayfinding, and packaging that benefit from a clean, contemporary sans with a distinct geometric voice.
The overall tone feels modern and functional—more engineered than expressive—suggesting signage, interfaces, and system-minded design. Its compact rhythm and geometric rounding read as contemporary and technical, with a slightly unconventional forward-tilt that adds motion without becoming playful.
Likely designed to provide a compact, modern sans that remains clear and consistent while introducing a recognizable superelliptic geometry. The slanted stance and tight proportions appear intended to add forward energy and efficient density without relying on high contrast or decorative details.
The sample text shows strong consistency across mixed case, with a tall lowercase presence and straightforward, highly legible silhouettes at display sizes. Rounded-rectangle bowls and squared shoulders repeat throughout, creating a cohesive ‘soft-rectilinear’ texture rather than a purely circular geometric one.
