A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and broadly rounded, superellipse-like curves. Forms are built from straight verticals and horizontals softened by large-radius corners, producing rounded-rectangle counters in letters like O and Q and a squarish, even rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are consistently rounded, apertures are controlled rather than wide, and the overall texture reads smooth and uniform at text sizes. Proportions favor tall ascenders/descenders with a tidy x-height, while figures and capitals maintain a crisp, engineered silhouette.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and compact headings where horizontal space is limited and a clean, consistent rhythm is important. Its distinctive rounded-rect geometry also works for contemporary branding, packaging, and poster typography, and it can hold up in signage and wayfinding where simplified shapes aid quick recognition.
The font conveys a modern, technical clarity with a gentle friendliness from its rounded corners. Its narrow stance and disciplined geometry give it an efficient, utilitarian tone, while the soft curves keep it approachable rather than stark.
The design appears intended to deliver an efficient, space-saving sans that feels engineered and contemporary, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance precision with approachability. It prioritizes consistent stroke behavior and a coherent, system-like set of shapes for clear, repeatable typographic color.
Several characters emphasize verticality and compact spacing, creating a tight, orderly color in paragraphs. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in bowls and counters, giving the face a distinctive “soft-square” identity that stays consistent from capitals through numerals.
