A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a distinctly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and superellipse-like counters, giving letters such as O, D, and Q a rounded-rectangle silhouette. Strokes remain largely uniform, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals; joins are tight and verticals dominate, producing an efficient, space-saving texture. Lowercase forms keep compact counters and relatively small extenders, while numerals follow the same narrow, upright rhythm for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines, compact titling, and space-constrained typography where a narrow footprint is beneficial. Its consistent, low-detail strokes make it effective for signage, packaging, interface labels, and editorial display settings that want a clean, technical voice without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone feels modernist and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor driven by its rounded-rect geometry. It reads as orderly and technical rather than expressive, lending a calm, engineered character to headlines and labels.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly efficient condensed sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton—combining modern clarity with a recognizable geometric signature for display typography and dense information settings.
Several glyphs emphasize the family’s modular logic: the pointed inner joins in W and the narrow, straight-sided bowls in B and P reinforce a constructed feel, while the rounded corners prevent the design from becoming harsh. Spacing appears tuned for tight settings, maintaining clarity even with condensed widths.
