A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly modular construction built from rounded-rectangle curves. Corners are softened into superelliptic arcs, while many joins and terminals resolve into squared-off, flat cuts that create a semi-stenciled rhythm. Counters are tight and often rectangular, with consistent stroke weight and minimal contrast; the overall color is even and slightly dark due to the narrow apertures and compact spacing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a techno-industrial voice is desired. It can work well for UI labels, wayfinding, packaging, and product marks, especially at medium to large sizes where the clipped details and tight counters remain clear.
The font reads as futuristic and engineered, with a clean techno sensibility that also nods to retro sci‑fi and industrial labeling. Its repeated rounded-rect geometry and clipped terminals give it a purposeful, functional tone—more display-forward than neutral text.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, superellipse geometry into a coherent alphabet with a condensed footprint, prioritizing a cohesive, engineered look over conventional grotesk neutrality. The consistent monoline strokes and systematic terminal treatments suggest an aim for strong identity and repeatable visual rhythm across glyphs.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean toward rounded-rectangle silhouettes rather than true circles, and several forms use deliberate gaps or notches that increase a mechanical, constructed feel. Lowercase shapes echo the same modular logic, keeping a consistent visual system across cases and numerals.
