This typeface is a condensed, monoline sans with squared-off curves and softly rounded corners, giving many letters a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes maintain an even thickness with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and mostly flat. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, with a tall, economical rhythm and tight interior spacing that keeps forms crisp at text sizes. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q read as softened rectangles rather than perfect circles, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are straight and sharply drawn for a structured overall texture.
It works well for interface labels, dashboards, and product UI where a compact footprint is useful and letterforms need to stay distinct. The condensed proportions also suit posters, editorial headlines, and packaging systems that need a clean, contemporary voice without decorative elements.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a precise, engineered feel from the squared geometry. It reads as calm and matter-of-fact, suited to information-forward design where clarity and restraint are priorities.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry, providing a modern, technical flavor while remaining highly legible. Its consistent stroke and restrained detailing suggest a focus on clarity, repeatable rhythm, and system-friendly typography.
Uppercase proportions are tall and compact, and the numerals follow the same squared-curve logic, staying consistent with the font’s condensed stance. The lowercase shows straightforward, single-storey constructions where applicable, reinforcing a pragmatic, signage-like simplicity.
