A condensed, monoline sans with a distinctly geometric construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, and terminals are smoothly squared rather than fully circular. Strokes stay even throughout, with straight verticals and horizontals dominating the rhythm and only gentle curvature in bowls and shoulders. Counters are compact and neatly proportioned, giving the face a tight, efficient texture, while rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian, with single-storey forms where expected and clean, unornamented joins; numerals follow the same narrow, geometric logic for a consistent color in mixed text.
This font works well for branding systems, headlines, and poster typography where a compact, contemporary voice is desired. Its even stroke weight and controlled geometry also suit UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding or environmental signage that benefits from a clean, space-efficient sans.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, combining a clean utilitarian voice with a subtle retro-futurist flavor from its rounded-rect geometry. It feels confident and orderly, suited to interfaces and systems where clarity and structure are part of the aesthetic.
The design appears intended to merge functional readability with a recognizable geometric signature—using rounded-rectangle curves and compact proportions to create a contemporary, system-ready sans that stands out without relying on ornament.
The rounded-square shaping is especially evident in bowls and arches, producing a distinctive, modular feel without becoming overtly decorative. The condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis and make the type look efficient and space-conscious in headlines and compact settings.
