A compact sans with tall, condensed proportions and a consistent stroke weight throughout. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical geometry with softened corners. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, and the overall rhythm is tight and efficient, with minimal contrast and clear, blocky silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and brand marks where a compact, space-saving voice is helpful. The sturdy, squared-round shapes make it effective for signage-style applications, packaging callouts, labels, and UI or product display text at larger sizes where clarity and a technical tone are desired.
The tone is functional and slightly futuristic, combining a no-nonsense, engineered feel with a hint of retro display character. Its rounded-square construction reads as friendly enough to avoid harshness, but remains firmly utilitarian and systematic.
The design appears aimed at delivering a condensed, high-impact sans that feels engineered and consistent, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance strictness with approachability. It prioritizes bold presence and clear silhouettes over delicate detail, making it well suited to display-oriented communication.
The uppercase set feels particularly tall and uniform, while the lowercase maintains simple, pared-back constructions that emphasize vertical stems and compact counters. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, staying sturdy and legible with a consistent, mechanical cadence.
