A condensed, monolinear sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with smooth superelliptical curves and flat terminals. The strokes are consistently light with a clean, engineered rhythm, and many forms emphasize verticality through tall proportions and compact widths. Counters tend to be narrow and elongated, and round letters (like O/C/G) read as squarish ovals with softened corners rather than pure circles. Overall spacing appears disciplined and even, giving lines a tidy, streamlined texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, brand marks, and short-to-medium text where a sleek, engineered look is desired. The condensed proportions make it useful for space-sensitive applications such as UI labels, signage, packaging panels, and editorial display settings that need a modern, orderly voice.
The overall tone feels modern and technical, with a subtly futuristic, display-oriented voice. Its rounded-rect forms and narrow stance suggest efficiency and precision, lending it an architectural, interface-like character rather than a warm humanist one.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary geometric sans that replaces circular construction with superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms to achieve a distinctive, systematic identity. It aims for clarity and compactness while maintaining a soft, approachable edge through rounded corners and consistent stroke behavior.
Distinctive superellipse construction is especially noticeable in bowls, arches, and numerals, producing a cohesive ‘rounded-square’ motif across the set. The lowercase shows simplified, upright structures and minimal modulation, keeping the texture consistent from headlines down into smaller reading sizes, though the condensed proportions and tight counters make it most characteristic when given room to breathe.
