A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strongly geometric construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely unmodulated, with consistent stroke endings and tight interior apertures. Proportions are tall and narrow with compact lowercase bodies, while capitals remain simple and architectural; numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear rhythm for a cohesive texture in lines of text.
Best suited to interface labels, dashboards, and compact typographic layouts where horizontal space is limited and a crisp, engineered look is desired. It also works well for headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from a narrow, modern voice and a distinctive soft-rectangular geometry. In longer text, it can provide a clean, utilitarian tone when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone feels engineered and systematic, with a quiet retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of signage and display systems. Its narrow, tidy rhythm reads as efficient and precise, lending a modern, slightly clinical neutrality that can also evoke mid-century technical labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a recognizable superellipse geometry, balancing strict structure with softened corners. It prioritizes consistency and system-like rhythm, making it feel tailored for modern display and information settings where a distinctive but restrained character is useful.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle bowls are especially evident in O/Q/0 and in the curved lowercase forms, producing a consistent “soft-square” silhouette across the set. The narrow set width and straightforward shapes create strong vertical cadence and make spacing and alignment feel disciplined in multi-line settings.
