This typeface is a tall, compact sans with monoline strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, producing squared-off bowls and softly flattened terminals rather than fully circular geometry. The counters are narrow and vertical, and the overall rhythm is dense and efficient, with straight stems and restrained joins that keep shapes crisp at text and display sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, upright construction, reading clearly with consistent stroke weight and simple, contemporary forms.
It works especially well for headlines, subheads, posters, and compact editorial typography where vertical economy is important. The clean, condensed structure also suits branding systems, wayfinding, and interface labels that need a contemporary look with controlled width.
The overall tone feels modern and functional, with a slightly industrial, space-saving presence. Its compressed vertical energy and rounded-rect geometry give it a contemporary, no-nonsense character that suits clean information design and editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient sans with a contemporary, geometric voice, balancing crisp vertical stems with softened, rounded-rect curves for clarity and consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In the sample text, the type maintains even color and steady spacing despite the narrow letterforms, helping long lines stay orderly. Round letters like O/C/G and the bowls of b/d/p show the characteristic superellipse squaring, which adds a subtle technical flavor without becoming decorative.
