A compact, tall sans with monoline strokes and a strongly condensed footprint. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow sidebearings and sturdy, simplified shapes that keep counters open despite the condensed width.
Best suited to space-constrained typography where a condensed width increases information density: UI labels, navigation, captions, and tabular-style interface content. It also performs well in bold headlines and posters where the tall, compact silhouettes create strong vertical presence, and in signage/wayfinding and packaging where clarity and efficiency are priorities.
The tone is modern and workmanlike, leaning technical and infrastructural rather than expressive. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a subtle friendliness to an otherwise pragmatic, efficient voice, making it feel contemporary and system-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver high legibility in a narrow measure while maintaining a cohesive geometric identity. By basing rounds on softened rectangles and keeping strokes even, it aims for a crisp, contemporary texture that stays consistent across letters and numbers in practical, layout-driven use.
Several characters emphasize geometry over calligraphic nuance, with squared bowls on letters like B/D/P/R and a similarly boxy, rounded treatment in C/G/O. The lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with clear ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same compact, vertical logic for consistent texture in mixed settings.
