A condensed, monoline sans built from squared, superellipse-like shapes with softly rounded corners. Strokes stay even throughout, with minimal contrast and a disciplined, modular construction that favors straight stems, flat terminals, and boxy counters. Curves are treated as rounded-rectangle turns, producing squared bowls in characters like O, D, and Q and a consistent right-angled rhythm across the alphabet. Spacing reads orderly and grid-minded, while select forms introduce distinctive angles and notches that reinforce a machined, engineered feel.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and squared curves can read as intentional design—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and wayfinding. It also works well for short UI labels and interface accents where a technical, modular flavor is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is technical and systematized, evoking signage, interfaces, and retro-futuristic industrial graphics. Its narrow proportions and squared geometry give it a precise, controlled voice that feels utilitarian yet stylized.
Designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive text face with a tight, engineered rhythm. The intent appears to be a clean, contemporary sans with retro-tech character—optimized for impactful titles and graphic applications while keeping letterforms consistent and systematic.
Several capitals lean into distinctive constructions (notably the angular diagonals and the pointed joins in V/W), which adds personality without breaking the strict geometric logic. Numerals follow the same squared, monoline approach, maintaining strong consistency between text and display use.
