A condensed monoline sans with rounded-rectangle curves and a distinctly vertical stance. Strokes stay even and crisp, with terminals that read as cleanly cut rather than flared. Counters are narrow but open, and round letters (like O/C/G) take on a soft superelliptical silhouette instead of a perfect circle. The overall rhythm is tight and economical, with compact widths, short crossbars, and consistently streamlined joins across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to situations where horizontal space is limited and a clean, modern voice is needed—UI labels, navigation, product labeling, and compact editorial headings. It also works well for posters and signage where a tall, narrow line of text can create strong vertical presence without heavy weight.
The tone is contemporary and utilitarian, conveying clarity and efficiency rather than warmth or ornament. Its narrow, tidy construction gives it a slightly technical, signage-like feel while the rounded forms keep it from becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, highly legible sans for contemporary layouts, combining strict vertical proportions with softened superelliptical curves to maintain approachability while staying precise.
Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect geometry, keeping a consistent color in text. The glyph set shown favors simple, legible constructions with minimal modulation, helping long lines stay orderly and uniform.
