A condensed, geometric sans with squared-off curves and generously rounded corners, giving many forms a soft-rectangular silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform with subtle shaping at joins; terminals tend to be blunt and flat rather than tapered. Counters are compact and often squarish, and several lowercase forms lean toward a unicase feel with simplified construction. Overall rhythm is vertical and orderly, with tight apertures and a slightly modular, engineered consistency across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its condensed width and bold shapes can create a strong graphic presence. It works well for posters, packaging, logos, and signage that aim for a retro-tech or industrial feel, and can add personality to UI/label-style typography when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The tone reads retro-futuristic and industrial, evoking mid-century display lettering, sci‑fi titling, and arcade-era graphics. Its blocky softness feels friendly rather than harsh, balancing machine-like structure with a playful, approachable character.
The design appears intended as a display face that merges geometric construction with softened, rounded-corner forms for a distinctive, contemporary-retro voice. Its condensed build and compact counters prioritize impact and stylized uniformity over long-form readability.
Distinctive details include boxy, rounded-rectangle ovals, a compact, geometric ‘w’/‘m’ structure, and numerals that favor flat tops and squared inner spaces. The dense counters and condensed proportions create strong texture in lines of text, especially at larger sizes.
