A condensed, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes read largely monolinear with subtle modulation, keeping a crisp, engineered rhythm. Curves are built from superellipse-like bowls (notably in C/O/Q and the lowercase rounds), while straight stems stay vertical and tidy. The uppercase set feels tall and narrow with generous counters, and the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height with compact, controlled spacing. Terminals tend to be squared-off but eased, producing a clean finish without sharpness.
Best suited for display applications where its condensed build and rounded-rect geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, identity systems, packaging, and wayfinding. It can also work for short text blocks or UI labels when a compact footprint and a clean, engineered look are desired.
The overall tone blends retro display charm with a modern, technical clarity. Its softened geometry feels approachable, while the condensed proportions and disciplined shapes add a sleek, utilitarian confidence. The result is a distinctive, slightly stylized voice that still reads as clear and orderly.
The design appears intended to fuse geometric, superellipse-driven forms with practical readability in a compact width. By pairing softened corners with disciplined vertical proportions, it aims to deliver a contemporary, technical aesthetic that remains friendly and legible at typical display sizes.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls give the typeface a consistent “rounded-rectangle” signature across both letters and numerals. The figures are narrow and upright, matching the text rhythm and helping maintain an even vertical texture in setting. The lowercase includes traditional, readable forms (including a two-storey a) that balance the more display-leaning uppercase proportions.
