A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared-off, softened corners, giving bowls and counters a compact, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular forms. Vertical stems dominate, horizontals stay crisp and level, and terminals are cleanly cut with only slight rounding. The overall rhythm is narrow and linear, with consistent stroke behavior and a neat, engineered finish across letters and numerals.
Works best for headlines, subheads, posters, and tight layouts where a lot of text must fit in limited horizontal space. The sturdy, simplified forms also suit signage and UI labels, especially when a clean, contemporary voice is needed. It can bring a crisp, organized look to packaging and editorial display typography.
The tone reads modern and utilitarian, with a subtle technical flavor coming from the squared curves and disciplined proportions. It feels efficient and contemporary rather than expressive, suggesting signage, interfaces, and streamlined branding. The narrow stance adds urgency and economy, while the rounded corners keep it approachable instead of harsh.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving, highly consistent sans with rounded-rect geometry that stays legible and orderly. The intent appears to be a neutral, modern workhorse for display and labeling, balancing a technical structure with softened corners for a friendly finish.
Capitals and numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic, keeping the set visually coherent in all-caps and mixed-case settings. The sample text shows strong verticality and compact word shapes, with open spacing inside counters helping legibility despite the condensed letterforms.
