A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish, superellipse-like bowls, giving letters such as C, O, and Q a rounded-rectangle feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, apertures stay fairly open, and counters are tight but clear. The overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, with simple, straightforward construction and minimal modulation.
This face suits space-conscious settings where a clean, condensed voice is useful, such as UI labels, navigation systems, and informational graphics. It also works well for posters and headlines that need a modern, efficient texture, as well as packaging and branding where compact word shapes are an advantage.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, leaning technical and functional rather than expressive. Its rounded geometry adds a mild friendliness, but the overall impression remains controlled, orderly, and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, highly legible sans with a distinctly rounded-rectangular geometry. It prioritizes clarity and consistent texture while adding a subtle softness through rounded corners and squarish bowls.
Uppercase forms read tall and compact, while lowercase maintains a clean, contemporary skeleton with single-storey a and g. The numerals are similarly straightforward and condensed, matching the font’s compact spacing and uniform stroke color.
