This is a compact sans with a tall, condensed stance and uniform, low-modulation strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off smoothness rather than true circles. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, producing a steady texture and strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a simple single-storey “a” and a “g” that reads as a single-storey form with an open tail; numerals follow the same compact, sturdy construction.
It performs best where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and compact branding lockups. The condensed rhythm also suits signage and UI labels where a strong, clean word shape is desirable.
The overall tone is direct and pragmatic, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its tight proportions and squared-round curves create a confident, no-nonsense voice that leans more functional than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction. It prioritizes clarity and punch, combining blunt terminals with softened corners to balance authority and approachability.
Spacing and letterfit appear tuned for dense setting, with counters kept open enough to hold up in heavier text. The superelliptical rounding softens the rigidity of the condensed build, helping headings feel firm without becoming harsh.
