A condensed sans with monoline strokes and generously rounded corners, giving many forms a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) silhouette. The curves are smooth and controlled, counters are compact, and terminals tend to be softly finished rather than sharply cut. Proportions are tall with a narrow set, producing a crisp vertical rhythm; round letters like O/C feel more like squarish ovals, while diagonals (A, V, W) are clean and straight. Numerals match the same condensed, rounded vocabulary for a consistent text-and-display color.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, captions, and UI or dashboard labeling where horizontal space is limited. It can work effectively in posters, packaging, and editorial layouts that benefit from a tall, condensed voice with a softened edge. Best results are likely in medium-to-large sizes or in short blocks of text where its narrow set enhances density without sacrificing clarity.
This typeface feels clean, efficient, and quietly modern. Its tall, condensed stance gives it an editorial and architectural calm, while the softened corners keep the tone approachable rather than severe. Overall it reads as contemporary, minimal, and slightly refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, contemporary sans suitable for compact settings while maintaining a friendly, polished texture through rounded corners and steady stroke weight. Its controlled geometry suggests an aim for consistent rhythm and clear word shapes in headlines and short text.
The lowercase includes a double-storey “g,” reinforcing a straightforward, editorial-leaning character. Punctuation and figures follow the same condensed proportions and rounded-corner construction, keeping the overall texture cohesive across mixed content.
