A condensed, monoline sans with squared-round (superellipse-like) curves and consistently even stroke weight. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, giving the alphabet a tall, efficient rhythm with tight apertures. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, while curves resolve into softly flattened bowls rather than perfect circles, producing a controlled geometric feel. The overall spacing reads orderly and systematic, with clear differentiation in forms like the angled ‘K’ and ‘X’ and the open, straightforward numerals.
This font suits interface labels, navigation, and compact headings where space efficiency matters. It also works well for signage, packaging systems, and editorial subheads that benefit from a clean, modern voice and consistent geometric structure. The numerals appear well-suited to tables, dashboards, and other data-heavy layouts.
The tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, leaning toward a functional, engineered aesthetic rather than expressive or calligraphic. Its restrained geometry and steady rhythm convey clarity and precision, suitable for information-forward typography.
The design appears intended to provide a neutral, space-saving sans with a distinctive superelliptical geometry—balancing modern character with disciplined readability. Its consistent strokes and controlled curves suggest a focus on system branding and functional typography across headings and short text.
Round letters such as C, G, O, and Q show the distinctive rounded-rectangle construction, and this same logic carries into lowercase bowls and the digit set for a cohesive texture. The condensed proportions increase information density while keeping shapes legible at display and UI sizes.
