A condensed, geometric sans built from straight stems and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes remain consistently even, with softened terminals and corners that create a superellipse feel in bowls and arches. Counters are compact but open enough for clarity, and the overall rhythm is vertical and orderly, with tall proportions and restrained widths. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S read as squarish rounds rather than pure circles, reinforcing a modular, engineered construction.
Best suited for compact headlines and short-to-medium text in layouts where space is tight and a crisp, technical impression is desired. It works well for UI labeling, wayfinding and environmental graphics, product/tech branding, and poster or packaging typography where consistent, rounded geometry helps maintain a clean, contemporary texture.
The tone is modern and technical with a subtle retro-futurist edge, suggesting instrumentation, interfaces, and industrial graphics. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe, while the condensed stance maintains a focused, efficient voice.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, highly consistent sans with a rounded-rect construction—balancing mechanical precision with softened corners for approachable legibility in display and interface contexts.
Distinctive squarish rounds and rounded-shoulder joins give the face a coherent, system-like consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shows simple, functional forms with minimal flourish, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic for a unified texture in mixed content.
