A compact, condensed sans with a strongly squared skeleton softened by rounded corners. Strokes are even and low-contrast, with mostly straight-sided verticals and horizontal terminals that keep counters tight and forms compact. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are crisp and mechanically drawn. The overall rhythm is steady and grid-like, with consistent sidebearings and a sturdy, no-nonsense texture in text.
It suits interface labels, dashboards, tables, and other settings where consistent character widths and a stable typographic grid are helpful. The condensed build also works well for packaging, technical documentation headings, wayfinding, and bold typographic posters where space efficiency and an industrial voice are desired.
The tone is functional and engineered, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and workmanlike display typography. Its squarish curves and disciplined spacing give it a slightly retro, industrial feel while staying clean and matter-of-fact.
The design appears intended to deliver a disciplined, space-saving sans that remains legible and visually consistent in grid-based composition. Its rounded-rect geometry suggests a deliberate blend of mechanical precision with softened corners to reduce harshness while keeping a utilitarian character.
Distinctive details include a rectangular period and dot accents, a single-storey “a,” a compact “e” with a tight aperture, and numerals that match the same squared, rounded-corner logic for a uniform alphanumeric color. The condensed proportions increase vertical emphasis and help the font hold its structure at larger sizes.
