A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a consistent reverse-leaning slant. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like geometry: squared-off curves, softened corners, and vertically biased ovals that read tall and compact. Counters are small-to-moderate and neatly enclosed, terminals are clean and largely blunt, and the overall rhythm is tight with an efficient, space-saving footprint. The lowercase shows a notably tall x-height relative to ascenders, keeping words visually dense and steady at text sizes.
Well-suited to interfaces, labels, and wayfinding where compact width and strong vertical presence help conserve space while maintaining clarity. Its distinctive slant and rounded-rect geometry also make it effective for contemporary branding, packaging, and poster headlines that want a clean but characterful sans.
The combination of soft-cornered geometry and an unusual reverse slant creates a modern, slightly contrarian tone—clean and engineered, yet a bit quirky. It feels friendly due to the rounded construction, but also systematic and utilitarian in its straight strokes and controlled spacing.
The design appears intended to merge compact, utilitarian proportions with a softened geometric voice, using rounded-rectangle construction and a reverse-leaning stance to differentiate it from standard neo-grotesques. The goal reads as efficient readability with a recognizable, slightly unconventional personality.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in b/d/p/q appear more squarish than circular, reinforcing a superelliptical style. The figures follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive alphanumeric set that stays legible while retaining a distinctive silhouette.
