A condensed, monoline sans with geometric construction and softly rounded turns. Curves read as superellipse-like, giving letters a squared-yet-rounded silhouette, especially in O/C/G and bowls. Stems are straight and evenly weighted, with generous internal counters for the width. Proportions skew tall: capitals are narrow and vertical, ascenders feel prominent, and the x-height is notably low, producing a large cap-to-x-height contrast. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with a generally crisp, engineered rhythm and slightly varying character widths across the set.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed proportions help fit long names and tight layouts: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and compact UI labels. It can work for short text and captions when ample size or leading is available to offset the low x-height.
The overall tone is modern and restrained, with a quiet, technical confidence. Its narrow stance and rounded-rect geometry lend a contemporary, architectural feel that reads precise rather than expressive.
The design appears aimed at a clean, contemporary sans that combines condensed efficiency with softened geometry. Its superellipse-like curves and strict monoline structure suggest an intention to feel engineered and modern while remaining approachable through rounded forms.
In text, the low x-height makes lowercase look delicate and airy beside the capitals, while the condensed forms keep lines compact. Numerals follow the same narrow, geometric logic, with simple, open shapes and consistent stroke behavior.
