A condensed, monoline sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and corners, producing a distinctly squared-yet-soft silhouette. Strokes remain even and clean, with straight-sided verticals and broad, flattened curves that keep counters compact and stable. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, and round letters like O/C/G read as squared ovals, reinforcing a structured, engineered rhythm. The lowercase keeps simple, mostly single-storey forms and tight apertures, while numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry for consistent texture.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product UI where compact width and crisp shapes help conserve space. The squared-round forms also fit industrial branding, wayfinding, and packaging systems, and can add a tech-forward flavor to headlines and short display copy.
The overall tone feels technical and functional, with a subtle futuristic edge driven by the squared curves and compact spacing. It reads as efficient and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic, suggesting contemporary interfaces, labeling, and system-like typography.
The font appears designed to merge geometric precision with softened superellipse curves, balancing a mechanical, system-like voice with enough rounding to remain approachable. Its condensed build and consistent bowls suggest an emphasis on efficient layout and a modern, engineered aesthetic.
The design maintains strong shape consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures, making the family feel cohesive in mixed-case settings. The condensed proportions and squared counters create a firm, high-contrast silhouette at display sizes, while the softened corners prevent the texture from feeling harsh or jagged.
