A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. Curved letters are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with tight apertures and compact sidebearings that create an efficient, space-saving texture. The overall rhythm is orderly and consistent, with crisp joins and a restrained, utilitarian construction.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, captions, and labeling where space is limited and a tight, modern texture is desirable. Its condensed build and simplified stroke behavior make it effective for signage, UI labeling, packaging, and editorial layouts that need strong hierarchy without occupying much horizontal room.
The narrow proportions and squared-round curves produce a contemporary, engineered tone—clean, disciplined, and slightly industrial. It reads as modern and economical, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels suited to structured information and streamlined branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary condensed sans that stays highly controlled and legible, using rounded-rectangular geometry to add character while maintaining a neutral, functional skeleton. It prioritizes efficient width, consistent stroke logic, and a clean, modern presence in display-to-text crossover roles.
Round forms like O and 0 appear as vertical rounded rectangles, reinforcing the font’s compressed stance. The lowercase shows a tall x-height relative to ascenders, helping maintain clarity at smaller sizes, while the condensed set width keeps lines dense and graphic in display settings.
