This typeface is a condensed, monolinear sans with tall proportions and a compact horizontal footprint. Curves are built from squarish, superellipse-like shapes, giving round letters a slightly rectangular “rounded-rectangle” feel rather than pure circles. Strokes remain even and calm, with rounded terminals and smooth joins that keep the texture consistent. Counters are relatively small due to the narrow set, and overall spacing is tight but orderly, producing a vertical, columnar rhythm in text.
It works well where space is limited and a tall, condensed voice is desirable—such as UI labels, navigation, tables, and other information-dense layouts. The clean, even strokes also suit concise headlines, posters, and packaging where a modern, streamlined look is needed without heavy typographic character.
The overall tone is restrained and contemporary, with a functional, system-like clarity. Its condensed build and rounded-rectangle curves suggest a technical, interface-forward personality rather than a friendly geometric softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans for tight settings, combining a strict vertical economy with softened superellipse curves for smoother texture. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and a controlled, engineered silhouette that stays readable while conserving horizontal space.
The lowercase shows simple, unembellished constructions (single-storey forms where expected), and the numerals share the same tall, condensed stance, helping mixed text and data feel uniform. The font’s narrow proportions make vertical strokes visually dominant, while the superelliptic rounding prevents the design from feeling harsh.
