A condensed, monoline sans with a tall x-height and compact proportions. Curves lean toward superelliptic, rounded-rectangle construction rather than perfect circles, giving counters a slightly squared feel (notably in C, G, O, and 0). Strokes are even and low-contrast with crisp terminals; joints are clean and largely unmodulated, creating a steady, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows simple, utilitarian forms with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders relative to the x-height, and straightforward punctuation and figures that match the overall narrow set.
It suits interfaces, dashboards, and compact text settings where horizontal space is limited and a consistent, tidy texture is needed. The condensed proportions also work well for labeling, wayfinding, and packaging panels, while remaining clean enough for modern editorial captions and informational typography.
The font reads as contemporary and no-nonsense, with a restrained tone that feels practical and technical rather than expressive. Its condensed stance and rounded geometry suggest efficiency and clarity, making it feel suited to information-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, highly legible sans with a controlled, geometric feel. By combining condensed widths with rounded superelliptic curves and uniform strokes, it aims for a modern, functional voice that stays calm and consistent across text and numerals.
Round letters maintain a slightly squared inner/outer contour that keeps shapes stable at text sizes, while the narrow widths increase line economy. Diacritics are not shown; the sample emphasizes basic Latin letters, numerals, and common punctuation.
