A condensed geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with softly squared corners and mostly uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and arched shoulders, while terminals are clean and closed, producing a compact, vertical rhythm. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, with occasional ink-trap-like notches at joins that sharpen the internal space. Overall spacing is tight and the silhouettes stay tall and streamlined, reading as a cohesive modular system across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its compact width and strong vertical rhythm can be used to fit more characters into a line. It works well for headlines, poster typography, title cards, branding marks, packaging, and UI-style labels where a retro-tech or industrial flavor is desired.
The design conveys a retro-futurist, machine-made tone—part Art Deco signage, part sci‑fi interface lettering. Its narrow, upright stance and squared-round geometry feel technical and purposeful, with a hint of playful stylization in the softened corners and clipped joins.
The font appears designed to deliver a condensed, space-efficient display voice with a distinctive rounded-rectilinear construction. Its consistent modular geometry suggests an intention to evoke engineered signage and futuristic typography while maintaining clear, repeatable forms across the character set.
The letterforms lean on straight stems and rounded corners more than true circular geometry, creating a consistent “rounded box” motif. Distinctive shapes in characters like the angular diagonals and compact bowls enhance recognizability, though the overall texture remains dense at smaller sizes due to tight counters and condensed proportions.
