A compact, condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and a squared-off construction softened by rounded corners. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, giving letters like C, O, and Q a rounded-rectangle feel rather than a pure circle. Terminals are clean and blunt, counters are relatively tight, and apertures read slightly closed, creating a dense, economical texture. Uppercase forms are straightforward and engineered, while the lowercase includes a single-storey a and g and a simple, utilitarian j with a clean descender.
Its compact width and even strokes make it well-suited for interface labels, navigation, and signage where space is limited and consistency is important. It also works effectively for headlines and short blocks of copy in posters and packaging, especially when a clean, contemporary, slightly softened geometric look is desired.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a calm, no-nonsense voice. The rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, adding a friendly edge to an otherwise technical, systematic rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a systematic, rounded-rectilinear skeleton—balancing efficiency and clarity with softened geometry for a more approachable contemporary feel.
The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces create strong vertical emphasis in both the grid and paragraph samples. Numerals follow the same compact, geometric logic, reading clearly at display sizes while maintaining the font’s dense color.
