A condensed, monoline sans with a strongly rectilinear skeleton softened by rounded-rectangle corners. Curves are expressed as squarish bowls and superellipse-like rounds, giving letters a narrow, tall stance and a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are generally flat and squared, counters are compact, and many joins read as clean right angles with softened corners. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, streamlined proportions, and the overall spacing feels tight and efficient without becoming cramped in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a sleek, technical tone is desired. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding systems that benefit from narrow letterforms and a controlled, geometric texture. In longer text, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes where its compact counters and condensed rhythm can breathe.
The font projects a futuristic, instrument-panel character—orderly, precise, and slightly retro in a sci‑fi way. Its narrow, squared geometry and even stroke weight suggest technical labeling and modernist signage rather than expressive, handwritten warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, modern display voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry—combining efficient width with a distinctive, engineered silhouette. It prioritizes a consistent modular construction and a futuristic tone over traditional humanist softness.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle bowls and squared-off curves create a consistent “capsule” motif across letters and figures. The condensed proportions and simplified construction keep word shapes sleek, while the soft corner rounding prevents the design from feeling harsh or purely industrial.
