A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared-off roundness in bowls and counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like O, C, and G a superelliptical feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are flat and straightforward, with minimal modulation and crisp joins; diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay sharp while maintaining consistent stroke weight. Overall proportions are tall and economical, with tight inner counters and a disciplined, grid-like rhythm that keeps the alphabet visually uniform.
Best suited to situations where horizontal space is limited and a tight, efficient typographic footprint is desirable—such as UI labels, navigation, data headings, and compact editorial heads. It can also work for posters, signage, and packaging systems that benefit from a tall condensed rhythm and a clean, contemporary appearance.
The tone is modern and pragmatic, leaning toward a functional, space-saving voice rather than expressive or calligraphic personality. Its condensed build and squared rounds suggest a technical, system-oriented aesthetic that reads as efficient and controlled.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed, highly uniform sans for practical display and interface settings, pairing straightforward monoline construction with superelliptical rounds to keep the forms modern, compact, and consistent.
In the sample text, the narrow set and compact counters create a dense texture, especially in mixed-case passages. Figures are similarly tall and straightforward, matching the alphabet’s restrained geometry and maintaining a consistent, workmanlike color across lines.
