A condensed, geometric sans with a monoline skeleton and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared bowls with softened corners, giving counters a tall, superelliptical feel. Stems stay straight and taut, terminals are mostly flat, and joins are crisp, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. Proportions are tall and narrow with generous vertical extenders and compact internal space, keeping the texture airy despite the tight width.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more characters into limited width—headlines, posters, packaging labels, and brand wordmarks. It can also work well in signage or UI labeling when a crisp, technical feel is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve the narrow apertures and counters.
The overall tone is modernist and slightly retro-futuristic, like labeling on instruments or architectural wayfinding. Its narrow, rectilinear curves read as technical and orderly, with a cool, minimal presence rather than warmth or expressiveness.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, contemporary sans that feels constructed from rounded rectangles—prioritizing a sleek silhouette, consistent rhythm, and a technical, modern character that stays distinctive without ornament.
The design emphasizes verticality and consistent stroke behavior, with rounded corners doing most of the softening. Round letters (such as O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R) appear more like rounded rectangles than circles, reinforcing an industrial, systematized look. Numerals follow the same tall, streamlined logic for a cohesive alphanumeric palette.
