A condensed, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are uniform and corners are generously radiused, producing superellipse-like counters and terminals. Curves tend to resolve into softly squared bowls (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while diagonals stay crisp and straight. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and simplified forms, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, giving lines of text a tidy, engineered texture.
This design works well where compact width and clear, consistent geometry are valuable—such as interface labels, dashboards, device graphics, and navigation or environmental signage. Its distinctive rounded-square silhouettes also suit modern packaging and technology-oriented branding where a controlled, contemporary voice is desired.
The overall tone feels modern and tech-forward with a subtle retro-terminal flavor. Its rounded-square construction reads friendly and approachable while still projecting precision and control.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, highly consistent geometric voice built from rounded-rect forms—balancing friendliness with a precise, engineered look for contemporary display and short-text settings.
Distinctive details include the softly squared “O/0” family, a rounded, hooked “J,” and a “W” with a deep central join that reinforces the modular, rounded-rectangle theme. Numerals echo the same softened-corner construction for a cohesive, system-like feel.
