A condensed sans with a monoline stroke and a distinctly geometric construction. Curved letters are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circles. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall ascenders/descenders and small, compact lowercase proportions. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut; joins are crisp, and overall spacing reads narrow and economical while maintaining clear internal counters.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and compact display settings where horizontal space is limited but a clean, modern voice is needed. It can also work for packaging, signage, and UI labels where a narrow, consistent texture helps maintain clarity in tight layouts.
The tone is modern and controlled, with a utilitarian, technical calm. Its narrow stance and squared-rounded curves suggest efficiency and precision, leaning more toward contemporary editorial and interface aesthetics than warmth or handwriting expression.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, contemporary sans that keeps a strong geometric identity through superellipse-based curves. It emphasizes consistency and legibility in condensed settings while delivering a distinctive squared-rounded flavor that differentiates it from purely circular geometrics.
Numerals follow the same condensed, monoline logic with simplified curves and firm verticals, matching the text color closely. The overall texture in paragraphs is dark and even for a condensed design, with a slightly architectural feel created by the superelliptic curves and consistent stroke behavior.
