A condensed, monoline sans built from squarish curves and rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes stay even and consistent, with softly radiused corners that keep the forms friendly despite the tight proportions. Bowls and counters tend toward superelliptical shapes, producing D/O/Q-like forms that feel squared-off rather than purely circular. Terminals are clean and blunt, spacing is compact, and the overall rhythm is tidy and engineered rather than calligraphic.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, and compact signage where a narrow footprint helps fit more characters per line. It also works for packaging, tech-forward branding, and poster headlines that benefit from crisp, geometric letterforms with softened corners.
The tone is modern and technical with a subtle retro-futurist flavor, reminiscent of instrument panels, wayfinding, and streamlined industrial design. Its rounded-square construction reads efficient and systematic while staying approachable due to the softened corners.
The design appears intended to merge efficiency and clarity with a distinctive rounded-square skeleton, offering a clean, contemporary sans that feels engineered and system-like while remaining visually friendly.
Distinctive details include a rounded-rect ‘O’ and similarly squared curves across C/G/Q, a compact ‘a’ and ‘g’ that echo the same geometry, and numerals that feel structured and utilitarian. The narrow set width and tight apertures give it a punchy, space-saving presence, especially in all caps.
