A condensed, monolinear sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel. Stems are straight and uniform, with compact apertures and tightly managed internal spaces; the lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the numerals follow the same narrow, squared-round geometry for a consistent rhythm across text and display sizes.
It suits space-conscious settings where clarity and vertical economy matter, such as UI labels, dashboards, wayfinding, and condensed headlines. The uniform strokes and squared-round shapes also work well for contemporary branding, packaging, and poster typography where a crisp, technical feel is desired.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a slightly futuristic, engineered character. Its squared-round curves and compact spacing read as efficient and systematic rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans optimized for tight widths while maintaining friendly rounded corners. Its superelliptical construction suggests a deliberate blend of geometric order and softened edges for versatile, modern communication.
The lowercase includes single-storey forms where expected (notably the ‘a’ and ‘g’), reinforcing a contemporary, functional voice. Round letters like O/Q and e/c look more like rounded rectangles, which strengthens the font’s grid-like, architectural cohesion.
