A condensed, geometric sans built from squared forms with generously rounded corners. Strokes are largely monolinear with crisp terminals and tight apertures, producing a compact, vertical rhythm. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) read as rounded rectangles rather than circles, while diagonals (V, W, Y, Z) are straight and disciplined. Counters are fairly rectangular and consistent, and the overall spacing and proportions favor efficient, sign-like readability.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where a compact, engineered look is desirable. It can work well for signage, product labeling, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a condensed footprint and a techno-industrial voice.
The tone is technical and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor that recalls labeling, equipment panels, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its rounded-square construction feels engineered and orderly rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient sans with a strong, constructed identity, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms consistent and recognizable. It prioritizes a clean, technical texture and high impact in display sizes while maintaining straightforward letterforms for practical reading.
Several forms emphasize squared bowls and narrow joins, creating a slightly “mechanical” texture in text. Numerals match the caps’ boxy construction, with clear, straight-sided shapes that reinforce a functional, display-oriented personality.
