A compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes stay largely uniform, with minimal modulation and crisp, clean edges. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, giving letters like O, D, and P a superelliptical feel, while joins and terminals are subtly softened rather than sharply cut. Proportions are tight and vertically oriented, with short crossbars and straightforward, geometric diagonals that keep the texture even in lines of text.
This face suits space-conscious settings such as interface labels, navigation systems, and information design where compact letterforms help fit more content without losing clarity. It also performs well in branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a modern, engineered look and a steady typographic texture at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and practical, with an industrial neatness that feels organized and no-nonsense. Its softened corners add approachability without becoming playful, keeping the voice calm, controlled, and contemporary.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, highly legible sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry. By combining disciplined proportions with softened corners and consistent stroke weight, it targets clear communication while adding a subtle, contemporary signature.
Uppercase forms read especially architectural, while the lowercase keeps a similarly disciplined rhythm with simple, uncluttered shapes. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-round logic, maintaining consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
