A tall, compact sans with narrow proportions and a steady monoline stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving counters and bowls a softly squared feel rather than true circularity. Terminals are predominantly flat with minimal modulation, and joins stay crisp and controlled, producing an even, engineered texture across words. Spacing and sidebearings feel tight but consistent, supporting a dense vertical rhythm and an efficient use of horizontal space.
Well-suited to headlines and display lines where vertical compactness is helpful, such as posters, signage, and packaging. The consistent stroke and simplified details also make it practical for short UI labels, navigation, and technical or product-oriented typography where a narrow footprint is desirable.
The overall tone is modern and functional, with a slightly industrial/technical character. Its condensed stance and squared-round geometry read as purposeful and system-minded, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a disciplined, utilitarian presence.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient, contemporary sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry. The intention appears to prioritize clarity and consistency in condensed settings while offering a recognizable, modern silhouette in both text samples and standalone glyphs.
Round letters such as O/C/G/Q show a distinctly superelliptical silhouette, while straight-sided forms (H, N, U) emphasize the font’s verticality. Figures follow the same condensed, rounded-rect logic, keeping the numeric line visually aligned with the text style.
