A condensed, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and a consistent stroke weight throughout. Corners are softly radiused and curves resolve into superelliptical bowls, giving counters a rectangular feel rather than circular. Proportions are tall and compact, with a high x-height and tight apertures that create a dense texture in text. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, and many joins are clean and mechanical, producing a uniform, engineered rhythm across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed footprint and high x-height help fit long words into limited space. It works well for headlines, posters, wayfinding, packaging, and bold branding systems that benefit from a technical, geometric voice. In continuous text it creates a dark, compact color, making it more appropriate for short blocks, captions, or UI labels than long-form reading.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, labeling, and mid-century display typography. Its compact width and squared softness read as confident and controlled rather than friendly, projecting a pragmatic, modernist character.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans that stays highly consistent in stroke and geometry. By using rounded-rectangular forms and tight apertures, it aims for a distinctive, industrial clarity that remains legible and structured in punchy display settings.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls on P/R lean toward rounded-rectangular shapes, while diagonals (V/W/X) stay crisp and disciplined. The lowercase maintains the same squared logic as the uppercase, and the numerals match the condensed stance, supporting cohesive display setting.
