A tall, compact sans with monoline strokes and squared-off curves that read like rounded rectangles. Corners and terminals are consistently softened, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. The design keeps apertures fairly tight and relies on vertical emphasis and narrow letterforms to create a disciplined rhythm in lines of text. Numerals follow the same boxy-rounded logic, with clear, sturdy silhouettes that match the capitals and lowercase.
This font performs best in display sizes where its condensed proportions and rounded-rect geometry can read crisply—headlines, posters, wayfinding, and brand marks. It also suits packaging and UI labels where a compact footprint is helpful and a technical, structured voice is desired.
The overall tone feels retro-modern and utilitarian—like signage, instruments, or mid-century display work updated with clean digital precision. Its condensed stance and squared curves convey efficiency and structure, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to blend a condensed, space-saving build with a consistent rounded-rectangle construction, producing a contemporary sans that nods to vintage industrial and signage aesthetics while staying clean and systematic.
Distinctive forms such as the pointed, V-like lower vertex on the uppercase V and similarly angular joins in letters like W add a slightly engineered character. The lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey construction where applicable, keeping texture even and minimizing calligraphic contrast.
