A tall, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes maintain an even weight throughout, with minimal contrast and a clean, mechanical rhythm. Counters are narrow and vertical, and many joins are smoothly blended rather than sharply angular, giving letters a streamlined, tube-like feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same condensed proportions, keeping the set visually uniform and space-efficient.
Works especially well for headlines and short statements where a condensed footprint is useful, such as posters, packaging labels, and wayfinding or storefront-style signage. It can also suit logo wordmarks that want a tall, compact profile with rounded, geometric character.
The overall tone feels utilitarian yet approachable: a blend of mid-century signage practicality and playful, rounded geometry. Its narrow silhouette reads efficient and industrial, while the softened terminals keep it from feeling harsh or overly technical.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize vertical presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive rounded-rect geometry. The consistent stroke and softened corners suggest an intent to deliver clear, repeatable shapes that feel modernist and sign-like rather than calligraphic.
The design leans on vertical emphasis and tight internal spaces, which creates strong texture in paragraphs and a distinctive, repetitive pattern in display settings. Punctuation and dots appear simple and round, matching the font’s softened, geometric logic.
