A condensed, upright sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are largely monolinear with softened corners and squared-off terminals, producing boxy counters and narrow apertures. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, with consistent rounding that keeps forms compact and mechanical. Spacing is tight and rhythmic, and the overall texture is dense and vertical, with simple, utilitarian construction across letters and figures.
Best suited to display applications where a dense, condensed voice is helpful: posters, headlines, logotypes, labels, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style text where space is limited and a technical aesthetic is desired, but its tight, stylized forms are most effective at larger sizes.
The font conveys an industrial, retro-technical tone—confident, efficient, and slightly utilitarian. Its narrow, squared proportions and softened corners evoke signage, equipment labeling, and mid-century display lettering, giving it a purposeful, no-nonsense personality with a stylized edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-efficient sans with a distinctive rounded-rect construction. By combining strict verticality with softened corners and boxy counters, it aims to feel both functional and characterful—suited to bold display settings that benefit from a technical, industrial impression.
Several forms emphasize straight sides and squared bowls (notably in B, D, O/0, and 8), while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) stay compact and steep to preserve width. The lowercase follows the same rectilinear logic with minimal modulation, keeping word shapes uniform and strongly vertical; the lining numerals match the caps’ compact, rounded-rect silhouette.
