A condensed monoline sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thin with softly radiused terminals, producing a smooth, continuous outline rather than sharp corners. Counters tend to be narrow and vertical, with oval-to-rectangular bowls and a generally high, airy rhythm. The lowercase is compact and simplified, and numerals follow the same narrow, rounded architecture for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short display settings where its tall, condensed silhouette can create distinctive word shapes—headlines, posters, titles, and brand marks. It can also work for UI labels and packaging where a clean, space-saving sans is desired, especially at moderate sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone feels clean and controlled, with a mild retro-electronic flavor from the narrow, rounded geometry. Its restrained stroke and tidy curves read as technical and modern, while slightly unconventional letter shapes add a subtle quirky personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, modern sans built from rounded-rectangular forms, balancing geometric clarity with softened edges. It prioritizes a consistent, monoline system that stays recognizable and stylish in display typography while maintaining a straightforward, contemporary feel.
Roundings are applied broadly to corners and joins, giving even angular letters a softened, tube-like feel. The font’s narrow set and light stroke weight emphasize verticality and spacing, which can make it feel delicate and precise at smaller sizes and elegantly spare at larger sizes.
