A tall, tightly set sans with a monoline skeleton and strongly rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and squared-off terminals, giving letters like C, O, and U a soft-cornered, boxy geometry. Counters are compact and vertical proportions are emphasized, with narrow sidebearings and a consistent, even stroke that keeps texture uniform in text. Details such as the angled leg in K, straight-sided M, and simplified, open forms in a/e reinforce a pragmatic, engineered drawing style.
Well-suited to space-conscious headlines, posters, and signage where a compact footprint is valuable. The monoline construction and clear, geometric repetition also work for UI labels, dashboards, and product/packaging systems that want a streamlined, technical tone.
The overall tone feels efficient and contemporary, with a hint of retro industrial signage. Its condensed rhythm and rounded-square curves read as functional and technical rather than expressive or calligraphic, projecting a composed, no-nonsense voice.
Likely drawn to deliver a condensed sans that retains warmth through rounded-square geometry while staying disciplined and uniform. The consistent stroke and engineered curves suggest an intention to create a strong, systematic voice for display and information-forward typography.
The design’s visual identity comes from the repeated rounded-corner motif across bowls, shoulders, and numerals, producing a cohesive ‘softened grid’ look. At larger sizes the distinctive squarish curves become a strong stylistic feature, while in smaller settings the narrow proportions and tight apertures can make the texture feel dense.
