A condensed, monoline sans built from squared forms with generously rounded corners, giving many glyphs a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton. Curves are minimized and substituted with straight segments and softened corners, producing a crisp, modular rhythm. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness, terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and counters tend to be rectangular and compact. Proportions are tall and narrow with a notably low lowercase x-height relative to the ascenders, creating a vertical, efficient texture in text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a compact, technical look is desired—such as UI labels, wayfinding, product labeling, packaging, and futuristic/retro-themed posters. The condensed proportions help fit longer words into tight spaces while maintaining a clear, structured silhouette.
The overall tone feels technical and retro-digital, reminiscent of labeling, instruments, and early computer or sci‑fi interface typography. Its squared, rounded-corner geometry reads as engineered and systematic rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into an efficient, high-clarity sans for modern and tech-forward aesthetics, prioritizing modular consistency and compact width over traditional humanist softness.
Distinctive letter construction favors angular joins and simplified diagonals, with rounded corners preventing the design from feeling harsh. Uppercase forms appear especially architectural, while the lowercase keeps a similar modular logic, reinforcing a consistent, utilitarian voice across settings.
