A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and consistent stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, giving bowls and counters a smooth, squared-off softness rather than perfect circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal modulation and a tight, vertical rhythm; widths vary by glyph (notably in M/W versus I/l), but the overall set stays narrowly proportioned. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short ascenders, and modest apertures, keeping color even and compact in text.
Best suited to settings where horizontal space is limited but strong legibility is still needed, such as headlines, subheads, posters, and compact branding lockups. It can also work for signage and interface labels where a narrow footprint and steady, even texture help keep layouts tidy.
The tone is pragmatic and contemporary—more functional than expressive—suggesting efficiency, clarity, and a slightly technical character. Its condensed stance and rounded-rect geometry read as modern and space-conscious, suitable for information-forward design rather than warmth or ornament.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving, modern sans with a distinctive superellipse-based roundness, balancing compact metrics with straightforward, low-friction readability. The restrained detailing and consistent stroke behavior point to an intention of broad utility across display and short-text applications.
At larger sizes, the superelliptical rounding becomes a defining signature in letters like O/C/G and the numerals, while at text sizes it reads as a clean condensed grotesque. The punctuation and basic figures shown keep to the same restrained, uniform construction, supporting a consistent typographic color across mixed content.
