A condensed geometric sans with a uniform stroke and squared-off, superellipse-like curves. Rounds are drawn as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, giving counters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are generally flat with softly eased corners, and curves transition into straight segments in a controlled, almost modular way. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact bowls, economical spacing, and clear, simplified shapes that stay consistent from caps to lowercase and figures.
Works well for interfaces, dashboards, and labeling where space is limited and clarity matters. The condensed proportions and uniform strokes also suit wayfinding, packaging panels, and headline or subhead use in posters and infographics where a modern, structured voice is desired.
The tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, leaning toward a functional, signage-like clarity rather than warmth or ornament. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a subtle industrial friendliness while still reading as precise and systematic.
The design appears intended to deliver high legibility in narrow set widths while maintaining a distinctive geometric signature. By using rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke logic, it aims to feel modern and systematic without becoming harsh.
Distinctive superelliptical O/C/G-family forms and similarly boxy bowls in letters like B, D, P, and R create a cohesive ‘rounded-square’ motif. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and straight, contrasting with the softened corners elsewhere, which reinforces the structured, engineered aesthetic.
