A condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are drawn as tall superelliptical bowls and arches, giving counters a soft, squared-off feel rather than true circles. Terminals are uniformly rounded, and verticals dominate the rhythm, producing an even, columnar texture in text. Numerals and capitals keep a tall silhouette with open interior spaces, while joins remain smooth and restrained without sharp corners.
Well-suited to space-conscious settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where a tall, condensed texture is desirable. Its consistent stroke and rounded geometry also make it a good fit for signage and interface labels when a sleek, modernist tone is needed.
The overall tone is clean and controlled, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor created by the elongated proportions and rounded-rect geometry. It reads as calm and technical rather than expressive, leaning toward a refined, schematic feel.
This design appears intended to explore a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle skeleton in a compact, vertically oriented form. The goal seems to be a minimal, contemporary sans that feels engineered and distinctive through proportion and geometry rather than contrast or ornament.
Several glyphs use distinctive structural choices that reinforce the geometric system (notably narrow bowls and high, rounded arches), which can add character at display sizes while staying orderly in paragraphs. The condensed width creates a strong vertical cadence and can make punctuation and spacing feel especially crisp and sparse.
