A condensed, monoline sans with tall, straight-sided verticals and subtly rounded corners that give many forms a soft, squared-off (superellipse-like) feel. Curves are restrained and controlled, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal modulation. Counters are compact but generally open, and terminals tend to be clean and rounded rather than sharply cut. Overall proportions are tall and narrow, producing a crisp vertical rhythm and an efficient footprint in text.
Works well where space efficiency and vertical presence are valuable, such as headlines, subheads, posters, packaging panels, and signage systems. Its clean monoline construction also suits UI labels, navigation, and compact editorial settings where a narrow width helps fit more characters per line.
The tone is modern and practical, with an understated industrial neatness. Its narrow build and controlled geometry suggest an editorial and wayfinding sensibility—clear, ordered, and no-nonsense—while the rounded shaping keeps it from feeling harsh or purely technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, contemporary sans optimized for clarity and economy of space. By combining condensed proportions with softened rectangular curvature, it aims for a distinctive but restrained voice that remains legible and consistent across display and text-like sizes.
The sample text shows stable color and even texture across lines, with a pronounced vertical emphasis. Numerals and uppercase forms read as sturdy and engineered, while lowercase maintains straightforward construction that supports continuous reading without decorative distractions.
