A condensed geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction, with monoline strokes and consistently softened corners. Counters tend toward squared ovals, and curves resolve into flat-ish terminals that keep the texture tight and uniform. Proportions are tall and compact, with narrow letter widths, small apertures, and a steady vertical rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share the same squared-round logic; numerals follow suit with simple, sturdy forms and minimal modulation.
Best suited to short-to-medium headlines, posters, and bold branding where its condensed presence can save space while staying impactful. It can also work well for signage and packaging where a sturdy, engineered look is desired and letterforms need to hold shape at a glance.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and engineered—clean, compact, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its rounded-rect geometry reads as friendly at a distance, while the condensed stance and tight apertures add a disciplined, technical edge.
The design appears intended to merge geometric simplicity with softened, rounded-rectangle forms, producing a compact display sans that feels both approachable and industrial. Its consistent stroke weight and disciplined shapes prioritize a strong silhouette and a uniform typographic color in larger sizes.
The font’s distinctive identity comes from its superelliptical curves and nearly rectangular bowls, which create a crisp, sign-like silhouette in words. The tight internal spaces suggest it will reward generous tracking and adequate size, especially in dense settings.
