A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are mostly even in thickness with subtle contrast at joins, producing a smooth, monoline-like rhythm. Curves resolve into superellipse-style bowls and counters, giving letters like O, C, and D a squarish roundness rather than pure circles. The uppercase is tall and condensed, while the lowercase keeps simple, geometric forms with tight apertures and short terminals; punctuation and numerals follow the same rounded, blocky logic for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed, rounded-rectangular shapes can read as a strong graphic element—headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and prominent UI labels. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but the compact apertures and dense color may feel heavy in extended reading.
The overall tone reads modern and approachable, with a distinctly retro-futuristic flavor. Its softened geometry and compact width feel friendly and playful, while the rigid, rounded-rectilinear structure adds a tech-forward, signage-like confidence.
Likely designed to combine geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with a condensed footprint, creating a high-impact sans that feels both soft-edged and structurally disciplined. The aim appears to be a distinctive, contemporary display voice with retro-tech character and consistent forms across letters and numerals.
Several glyphs emphasize distinctive, rounded joins and narrow interior counters, which increases graphic impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The numerals echo the same superellipse geometry, with simple, sturdy silhouettes that suit bold display settings.
