A condensed, geometric sans with monolinear strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squared, superellipse feel. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact apertures and a disciplined, gridlike silhouette; diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are straight and crisp, while round letters (O/Q/0/9) read as tall, softly squared forms.
Works well for UI labels, navigation, dashboards, and technical readouts where a compact footprint and consistent geometry help maintain order. It can also serve in posters, packaging, and brand systems that want a modern, tech-forward voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the squared-round details are evident.
The overall tone is technical and modern, with a controlled, engineered look that suggests interfaces, instrumentation, and contemporary sci‑fi styling. Its narrow proportions and squared rounds feel efficient and purposeful rather than expressive or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing consistency and spatial efficiency while keeping a friendly softness via rounded corners.
Uppercase forms lean toward simplified geometry (notably the squared bowls in B/P/R and the rounded-rectangle O), while lowercase maintains the same construction with compact, modular shapes. Numerals follow the same softened-rectilinear logic, with a notably boxy 0 and similarly structured 8/9, reinforcing a cohesive, system-font character.
