A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a squared, superellipse-based construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, giving letters like O, D, and Q a tubular, inset feel. Terminals are generally flat and clean, with tight apertures and economical joins that keep shapes narrow while maintaining clear interior space. The rhythm is vertical and uniform, with consistent stroke width and minimal modulation across letters and figures.
Best suited for display sizes where its condensed build and geometric counters can read crisply—headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding where space is limited and a technical voice is desired.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor. Its compressed geometry and squared-round forms suggest machinery, signage, and interface typography rather than conversational text.
The type appears designed to deliver a space-saving, high-impact look built from rounded-rectangular geometry, balancing strict verticality with softened corners for a modern, engineered character.
The design leans on strong vertical strokes and compact proportions, producing a tall, efficient texture in words. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, matching the caps closely in weight and presence for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
