A highly condensed sans with a monoline stroke and squared-off, superellipse-inspired curves. Corners are consistently softened into rounded rectangles rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a compact, engineered feel. Proportions are tall and narrow with generous internal spacing for the width, and terminals are clean and mostly straight, producing a crisp vertical rhythm. The lowercase keeps simple constructions (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same narrow, rounded-rect geometry for a uniform set.
Best suited to display typography where tall, condensed letterforms can create impact without taking much horizontal space—headlines, poster titles, brand wordmarks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or environmental signage. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation where a compact width is helpful, but longer reading passages may feel dense due to the strong vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, with a slightly technical, signage-like clarity. Its slim, vertical stance reads as efficient and contemporary, leaning more toward functional minimalism than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, contemporary voice with consistent rounded-rect geometry, balancing strict vertical structure with softened corners for approachability. It aims for clarity and cohesion across letters and numerals while maintaining a distinctive condensed silhouette.
Round characters such as C, O, Q, and 0 read as squarish ovals with softened corners, which helps the design stay consistent at display sizes. The narrow proportions create strong vertical texture; in longer lines it can feel tight and assertive, especially where many straight stems repeat.
