A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves tend to resolve into squared terminals, and many joins feel molded rather than calligraphic, giving the alphabet a modular, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and evenly weighted, with verticals emphasized and bowls built from superelliptical arcs; several lowercase forms use simplified, almost schematic structures that keep silhouettes clean at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where its condensed proportions and geometric personality can lead: posters, headlines, wordmarks, packaging, and signage. It can work for short UI labels or section headers when a retro-modern voice is desired, but its stylization is more impactful than purely utilitarian for long reading.
The tone reads retro-futurist and slightly theatrical—evoking Art Deco signage and streamlined industrial design. Its quirky details in letters like g, k, y, and the sharply shaped numerals add a playful, characterful edge while staying controlled and orderly.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, superelliptical construction with a compact, space-saving width, creating a recognizable display sans that feels both vintage and modern. The consistent monoline stroke and rounded-square geometry suggest a focus on cohesion and strong, repeatable shapes for branding and titling.
Round forms such as O/Q and 0 lean toward a squared oval, reinforcing the superellipse feel. The numeral set is similarly stylized, with angular bends and tight apertures that prioritize distinctive silhouettes over neutrality.
