A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and subtly rounded corners that soften otherwise straight, economical outlines. Round letters are built from squarish superellipse-like forms, producing narrow bowls and tight apertures with a strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders for dense setting, while counters remain simple and open enough to stay clear at text sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained geometry, with consistent stroke endings and minimal modulation.
Well suited to interface typography, wayfinding-style labeling, tables, and dense information where narrow set width is valuable. It can also work for contemporary packaging and posters that benefit from a clean, compact sans with softened geometry.
The overall tone is clean and matter-of-fact, with a modern, engineered feel. Its rounded-rectangle curves add a mild friendliness without becoming playful, keeping the voice neutral and functional.
The design appears intended to maximize clarity and economy of space while maintaining a coherent geometric identity. Rounded-rectangle curves and a tall lowercase structure suggest an emphasis on legibility in modern, screen-adjacent contexts and tight typographic systems.
Proportions are notably compact, and spacing reads efficient, which helps it perform in constrained layouts. The geometric construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a systematic, UI-forward character.
