A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strongly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle and superellipse shapes, giving bowls and arches a squared-off feel while staying smooth and even. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with consistent stroke weight and tight interior counters that reinforce a compact, efficient texture. Overall proportions are tall and narrow, producing a steady vertical rhythm and a uniform, engineered presence in text.
Works well for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, space-saving sans is needed without sacrificing clarity. The squared-round geometry also suits packaging, signage, and interface labels that benefit from a clean, engineered aesthetic and consistent stroke behavior at moderate sizes.
The combination of narrow proportions and rounded-rect geometry reads as modern and technical with a subtle retro flavor. It feels orderly and utilitarian rather than expressive, while the softened corners keep the tone approachable and less severe than a purely rigid grotesque.
The design appears intended to merge geometric efficiency with friendly rounding: a condensed, space-conscious sans that maintains a uniform rhythm and a distinctive squared-round silhouette for contemporary display and practical titling.
In sample text, the condensed spacing and tight counters create a dense typographic color that favors display and short lines. Rounded-rectangle forms are especially evident in the round letters and numerals, and the punctuation/dots appear crisp and neatly aligned, supporting a controlled, systematic look.
