A condensed, monoline sans with a squared, rounded-rectangle construction that keeps curves tight and corners softly radiused. Strokes are even and deliberate, with a relatively tall x-height and compact apertures that create a dense, orderly texture in text. Many forms lean on straight verticals and flat terminals, while bowls and counters read as superelliptical—more squared than circular—giving the alphabet a streamlined, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, squared rhythm, staying clear and consistent alongside capitals and lowercase.
This font suits space-conscious headlines, posters, and packaging where a condensed footprint helps fit more characters per line without losing structure. Its squared curves and even strokes also work well for wayfinding, UI labels, dashboards, and technical branding where a clean, engineered aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is technical and contemporary, with an industrial, signage-like clarity. Its narrow, rectilinear rhythm feels efficient and controlled rather than expressive, suggesting utility, systems, and interface design.
The design appears intended to blend compact proportions with geometric, rounded-rectangle forms for a modern, systematized look. It prioritizes consistent stroke behavior and a disciplined silhouette, aiming for legibility and a distinctive, tech-forward personality in display and short text.
Round letters such as O and Q appear as rounded rectangles, reinforcing the geometric theme; the Q’s tail is minimal and integrated. The lowercase set maintains the same compact, vertical emphasis, producing a uniform, almost modular color across lines, especially at display sizes.
