A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and softened corners throughout. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off roundness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and largely straight, with minimal modulation and a consistent vertical rhythm; round letters like O and Q read as narrow ovals with gently flattened sides. The lowercase is compact with straightforward construction, while ascenders and capitals emphasize height, producing a strong, upright texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where vertical emphasis and economy of space are desirable. The compact rhythm also fits packaging, labels, and UI/infographic contexts that benefit from a clean, engineered look. It can work for short blocks of text when a tight, modern texture is intended.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with a disciplined, space-saving presence. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a subtle friendliness without losing a technical, system-like feel. In running text it conveys clarity and restraint rather than warmth or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, contemporary sans optimized for fitting more characters per line while retaining legibility. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate geometric system aimed at a distinctive yet restrained voice, balancing technical clarity with softened edges.
The condensed proportions create a dense typographic color, and the superellipse shaping helps keep counters open despite the narrow set. Straight-sided rounds and squared curves give headlines a distinctive, slightly architectural signature, especially in letters like O, Q, D, and U.
