A condensed, monoline sans with a distinctly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Curves are often expressed as squarish bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, creating a consistent superelliptical rhythm across O/C/G and the lowercase rounds. Strokes are even with low modulation, terminals are clean and mostly blunt, and the overall proportions are tall with compact sidebearings. Uppercase forms are narrow and structured; lowercase follows a straightforward, functional model with simple shoulders and compact counters, keeping texture tight in continuous text.
Well-suited to space-conscious settings such as UI labeling, dashboards, wayfinding, and product systems where a compact footprint is helpful. Its geometric, squared-round forms also work effectively for posters, packaging, and editorial headlines that need a modern, technical voice without heavy stylistic ornament.
The overall tone is modern and functional, with an industrial, technical character that feels engineered rather than calligraphic. The rounded-rectangle geometry adds a slightly retro-futurist flavor while staying restrained and matter-of-fact.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans that balances strict geometry with softened corners for approachable readability. Its consistent monoline construction and engineered curves suggest an emphasis on clarity, economy of space, and a distinctive squared-round identity.
Round letters (like O/Q/0) read as squared-off ovals, and punctuation/details (such as the i/j dots) appear clean and minimal. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-curve logic, producing a consistent, signage-like color at display sizes and a dense, efficient texture in paragraphs.
