A condensed, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and straight, monoline strokes. Corners are consistently softened into squared radii, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than circular. The letterforms show a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders and a tight, efficient rhythm; apertures tend to be narrow and terminals are mostly flat-cut. Numerals and capitals follow the same modular logic, with squared-off curves and minimal contrast that keep shapes crisp and schematic at both display and text sizes.
Works well for UI and product labeling, wayfinding and technical signage, and concise headlines where space is limited. It can also support branding for technology, gaming, and hardware-oriented identities, and performs effectively in short-to-medium text blocks thanks to its strong x-height and steady stroke rhythm.
The overall tone is clean and technical, evoking interfaces, instrumentation, and engineered signage. Its squared-round geometry reads modern and machine-made, with a slightly retro digital flavor that feels at home in sci‑fi or industrial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, system-like sans with a distinctive squared-round geometry—balancing mechanical precision with softened corners for approachability and clarity.
Distinctive details include boxy, rounded counters (notably in forms like O/Q/0) and a consistent rectilinear construction that stays legible despite the condensed width. The lowercase maintains strong presence due to the high x-height, while the punctuation and figures inherit the same clipped, structural aesthetic.
