A compact, condensed sans with near-uniform stroke thickness and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) construction in curves and counters. Vertical strokes dominate and terminals are clean and plain, giving the letters a tidy, engineered rhythm. Round characters like C, O, and G read as narrow superellipses, while joins and shoulders stay simple and controlled. Uppercase proportions are tall and slim; lowercase forms are straightforward with a single-storey a and g and compact bowls, contributing to a tight, efficient texture in text.
Well suited to space-limited settings such as headlines, navigation, UI labels, posters, and packaging where a compact width helps fit more characters per line. It can also work for technical or informational typography—tables, captions, and short data strings—when a clean, uniform texture is desired.
The overall tone is modern and functional, with a slightly technical, signage-like clarity. Its narrow stance and crisp shapes feel disciplined and space-conscious, projecting a no-nonsense, contemporary voice rather than expressive warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly economical, condensed sans with consistent stroke weight and superelliptical rounding, optimizing for clarity and efficient line fitting in contemporary graphic and interface contexts.
The condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence and dense word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same narrow, monoline logic, staying clear and consistent with the alphabet’s restrained geometry.
