A condensed, monoline sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction. Strokes maintain near-uniform thickness with softly squared terminals and corners, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward vertical ovals and rounded rectangles, and many curves feel gently “squarish” rather than purely circular. Proportions are tall and compact, with tight sidebearings and a streamlined, vertical stance that keeps text blocks tidy and evenly paced.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting sizes where its condensed width and tall proportions can add impact without consuming space—interface labels, wayfinding and environmental graphics, packaging, and contemporary poster headlines. It can work in running text in larger sizes where its narrow rhythm remains readable and the uniform stroke keeps the texture even.
The overall tone reads modern and technical with a clear retro undercurrent—evoking signage, product interfaces, and mid-century-to-digital transitional aesthetics. Its softened corners keep it approachable while the narrow, rectilinear geometry adds a precise, utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to fuse geometric clarity with softened, industrial friendliness: a space-saving condensed sans built from rounded-rect forms that feels both contemporary and subtly retro. Its consistent stroke and compact proportions suggest an emphasis on system-like consistency across letters and numerals for display and functional typography.
Distinctive letterforms include a single-storey lowercase “a,” a narrow, symmetrical lowercase “m,” and a sharp, angular “w” formed from straight strokes rather than a rounded double-v. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, staying open and legible while retaining the rounded-rect geometry.
