A condensed, geometric sans with monoline strokes and corners softened into rounded-rectangle curves. The forms feel constructed from straight verticals and horizontals with superelliptic bowls, producing a compact rhythm and tight internal counters. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared-off, while curves stay controlled and boxy rather than circular; joins are clean and consistent across the set. Uppercase proportions are tall and narrow, and the lowercase mirrors that same vertical emphasis with simple, sturdy shapes and minimal contrast.
Best suited for short to medium-length display work where a compact footprint and high visual impact are needed, such as headlines, poster titles, branding marks, packaging labels, and wayfinding or signage. It can also work for UI or product-style graphics when a retro-tech, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and engineered—evoking industrial labeling, retro-futurist interfaces, and compact headline typography. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a friendly smoothness, but the condensed stance and rigid construction keep it assertive and functional.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans with a consistent rounded-rectangle construction. By pairing condensed proportions with softened corners and squared curves, it aims for a distinctive, modern-industrial signature that remains clear and robust in display sizes.
Distinctive details include squared bowls (notably in characters like O/Q and the rounded parts of B/D/P/R), a compact, almost modular feel, and numerals that follow the same narrow, blocky logic for a cohesive alphanumeric texture. The strong vertical emphasis makes lines of text feel tall and regimented, especially in all-caps settings.
