A condensed, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes are thick and even, with corners consistently softened into squared curves rather than true circles. Apertures tend to be tight and counters compact, producing a dense, efficient rhythm in text. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, and the overall geometry favors straight-sided bowls and rectangular inner spaces, giving the forms a structured, engineered feel.
Best suited to display sizes where its compact geometry and heavy, even strokes can project clearly—headlines, posters, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short UI or signage strings where a technical, space-efficient look is desired, but the dense counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or lengthy body text.
The tone reads utilitarian and technical, with a subtle retro-futuristic flavor reminiscent of industrial labeling and display typography. Its compact proportions and squared rounding feel confident and functional rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans with a consistent superellipse build system—prioritizing strong silhouettes, tight spacing potential, and an industrial/technical voice for modern display applications.
The uppercase shows a rigid, modular consistency, while lowercase retains the same squared-round logic in bowls and joins. Several characters emphasize distinctive silhouettes through clipped curves and narrow apertures, helping maintain clarity in compact settings.
