A condensed geometric sans with monoline strokes and a rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared, superelliptical corners, producing boxy bowls and softly clipped terminals rather than fully circular forms. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight counters and a disciplined, modular feel; rounded shoulders and corners keep the texture from becoming harsh. Lowercase proportions read small against the tall ascenders, and several letters show pragmatic, simplified joins that reinforce a streamlined, engineered appearance.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, squared-round construction can define a strong voice—headlines, posters, logos, product labeling, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or technical captions when space is limited, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where its tight counters and compact proportions remain clear.
The overall tone feels technical and functional, with a hint of retro-futurist display styling reminiscent of labeling, instrumentation, and sci‑fi titling. Its narrow stance and squared rounding convey efficiency and control, while the softened corners add approachability without losing the mechanical character.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that reads as engineered and contemporary, using rounded-rectangle geometry to create a distinctive silhouette while staying clean and legible. Its narrow set and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on space efficiency and a cohesive, system-like visual identity.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls make letters like O/Q and rounded characters feel squared-off, helping the type maintain a consistent grid-like presence across lines. The condensed width packs words tightly, and the uniform stroke weight creates a steady, signage-like color at larger sizes.
