This typeface is a condensed monoline sans with a distinctly squarish, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel. Strokes stay even throughout, with flat terminals and a tight, efficient rhythm; capitals are tall and compact, and the lowercase maintains a large, open presence relative to its ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same compact geometry, with clear, straight-sided forms and rounded corners that keep the texture consistent.
It works well for headlines and short blocks of text where a compact footprint is helpful, such as UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style signage. The consistent stroke weight and squared-round geometry also suit posters, packaging, and contemporary branding that benefits from a technical, condensed voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and functional, with a subtle industrial edge. Its narrow, squared-round forms suggest engineered clarity rather than friendliness, making it feel systematic, controlled, and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver high information density with a strong geometric identity. By combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims to stay readable and orderly while providing a distinctive, modern silhouette.
The font’s character comes from the repeated use of rounded corners on otherwise rectilinear shapes, producing a crisp texture at text sizes while remaining distinctive in display use. Counters tend to be vertically oriented and compact, reinforcing a dense, space-saving typographic color.
