A compact sans with tall proportions and an even, monoline feel. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like shapes, producing squared counters and softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay consistent and dark, with straight vertical sides and gently rounded terminals that keep the texture smooth despite the tight width. Spacing is economical and the letterforms sit firmly on the baseline, creating a dense, continuous rhythm in text.
Best suited to display roles where compact width and strong presence are needed, such as headlines, posters, brand wordmarks, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where space is limited and clarity at larger sizes is important.
The tone is direct and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered flavor. Its rounded-rect geometry softens the impact just enough to feel approachable, while the condensed proportions keep it assertive and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans that feels modern and systematic. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention to blend industrial clarity with a slightly friendly finish for contemporary branding and display typography.
Round letters like O/Q read as squarish ovals with rounded corners, reinforcing the superelliptical system across the set. The overall silhouette is tall and steady, which helps maintain consistency in all-caps settings and creates a strong vertical cadence in mixed case.
