A condensed geometric sans with monoline strokes and corners softened into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Verticality is emphasized through tall proportions and tight horizontal widths, while curves remain controlled and even. Terminals are clean and largely straight-cut, with consistent stroke endings and a steady, mechanical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters are simple and open, and the overall texture stays uniform and tidy in continuous text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, vertically driven sans is helpful. The narrow proportions make it useful for tight layouts, interfaces, labels, and signage-style applications where clarity and space economy matter. It can also work in short text blocks when a clean, technical flavor is desired.
The design reads as retro-modern and mildly futuristic, combining utilitarian precision with approachable rounded forms. Its narrow build and disciplined geometry give it a technical, signage-like tone, while the softened corners prevent it from feeling harsh.
Likely designed to deliver a space-saving geometric sans with a recognizable rounded-rectangle voice—clean, consistent, and contemporary—while maintaining straightforward readability in display and compact typographic contexts.
Distinctive superelliptic rounding shows up most strongly in bowls and arches, creating a squared-off softness rather than fully circular curves. The condensed proportions increase letterfit efficiency and create a strong vertical cadence, especially noticeable in all-caps settings and in numerals.
