A tall, tightly set sans with uniform stroke weight and softened, rounded terminals. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls a superelliptical feel and keeping joins smooth and consistent. Proportions emphasize height over width, with long ascenders/descenders and compact bowls; spacing is even and restrained, producing a neat vertical rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction, with simple, legible shapes that align well with the overall condensed texture.
This face works well where horizontal space is limited but a modern, crafted look is desired—headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging panels. Its uniform strokes and simple construction also suit UI labels, navigation, and wayfinding-style applications, especially when a compact, vertically rhythmic texture is helpful.
The overall tone is clean and structured, with a subtly retro, sign-like flavor. Its narrow, rounded construction reads efficient and technical rather than expressive, projecting a calm, orderly voice suited to streamlined layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly consistent sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing a tidy vertical rhythm and a clear, contemporary presence. The softened corners temper the strict condensation, aiming for an approachable but still technical feel.
The rounded-rectangle logic is especially apparent in O/C-style forms and in the way corners transition smoothly into straight strokes, creating a consistent “tube-like” silhouette. The condensed width produces a strong vertical emphasis that can feel space-saving and slightly formal at display sizes.
