A compact sans with a superelliptic construction: counters and outer curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles. Strokes appear monoline and sturdy, with tight apertures and squared-off terminals softened by consistent corner rounding. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with short extenders, narrow internal spaces, and a strong, even color that holds together in lines of text. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, producing clear, robust forms suited to set tightly without falling apart.
Well-suited to headlines, labels, posters, and branding systems that need compact impact and a consistent, engineered texture. It can work for short UI titles, signage, and packaging where space is limited and letterforms must remain sturdy at bold sizes.
The tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with an engineered, contemporary feel. Its rounded corners temper the hardness of the condensed proportions, keeping the voice approachable while still reading as functional and urban.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton. By prioritizing uniform stroke strength and softened corners, it aims for a modern, technical presence that remains friendly enough for contemporary display use.
Several glyphs lean into boxy silhouettes (notably round letters like O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R), which creates a cohesive, modular look across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The condensed width and compact counters make it most comfortable at display and UI-like sizes where its sturdy shapes can breathe.
