A compact, condensed sans built from straight strokes and rounded-rectangle curves, with consistently softened corners throughout. Stems and horizontals maintain an even weight, while bowls and counters tend toward superellipse-like geometry rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, producing crisp joins and a steady, grid-friendly rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same squared-round logic, with clear, open apertures and sturdy internal counters.
Well-suited for compact settings where consistent spacing and a steady rhythm help scanning, such as UI labels, dashboards, tables, and device readouts. It also fits industrial or tech-forward branding applications like packaging, product markings, and signage where a structured, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone feels technical and no-nonsense, combining a machine-made precision with a mildly retro, digital-era flavor. Its squared curves and uniform construction evoke labeling systems, instrumentation, and pragmatic interface typography rather than expressive or handwritten forms.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, highly regular voice that remains legible under tight widths. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate blend of functional signage clarity with a contemporary, system-like aesthetic.
The condensed proportions and boxy curvature create strong vertical emphasis and efficient width usage. Distinctive angular diagonals (notably in letters like K, V, W, X, Y) reinforce the mechanical character, while rounded corners keep the texture from feeling harsh.
