A condensed sans with monoline strokes and a squared, superellipse-like construction. Corners are consistently rounded, producing rectangular counters and softly clipped terminals rather than fully circular bowls. Proportions are tall and economical, with narrow widths and tight interior spaces that keep the texture even in continuous text. The lowercase shows compact, functional shapes with short extenders and simple joins, while numerals follow the same tall, narrow rhythm for a cohesive set.
Works well where space is at a premium and a compact, consistent rhythm is needed—interface labels, navigation elements, and dense headings. The distinctive squared-round forms can also add a contemporary edge to posters, branding lockups, and packaging, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels contemporary and pragmatic, with a subtle techno flavor from the rounded-rectangle geometry. It reads as orderly and disciplined rather than expressive, suggesting precision and efficiency. The softened corners add approachability without losing a structured, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving sans that remains clear and stylistically coherent, using rounded-rectangle geometry to differentiate it from purely circular grotesks. Its controlled stroke behavior and condensed proportions suggest a focus on systematic consistency for display and UI-oriented typography.
Round letters like O/Q and curved strokes resolve into flattened arcs and squared counters, giving the face its signature “rounded square” silhouette. The ampersand and punctuation echo the same restrained geometry, and the condensed fit creates a compact, sign-system-like rhythm at larger sizes.
