A compact sans with squared, superelliptical curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing a blocky, high-contrast silhouette against the counterforms rather than through stroke modulation. Bowls and rounds resolve as rounded rectangles (not true circles), while terminals tend to be flat and clipped, giving many letters a slightly engineered, cut-from-plate feel. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is vertical and condensed, with robust stems and simplified interior shapes that stay crisp at large sizes.
This design suits short-to-medium text set large: headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, and wayfinding where a condensed footprint helps fit more content without losing impact. It also works well for UI labels, dashboards, and technical or industrial-themed graphics that benefit from a sturdy, machine-made voice.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a subtle sci‑fi flavor from the squared curves and clipped terminals. It reads confident and no-nonsense—more like labeling and equipment typography than friendly editorial text. The rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, balancing toughness with a controlled, modern smoothness.
The font appears intended to deliver a dense, space-efficient sans that remains emphatic and highly structured, using superelliptical geometry and rounded corners to create a modern, engineered personality while preserving clear letter differentiation.
Capitals show a strong, uniform skyline and a compact stance that emphasizes verticality. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, pragmatic construction with minimal curvature and small, squared counters; punctuation and numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like texture in paragraphs.
