A condensed geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with consistently rounded corners and mostly uniform stroke weight. Counters are squarish and compact, giving letters a modular, engineered feel. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and soft radii; diagonals appear primarily in V/W/X/Y and are rounded at terminals. Apertures and joins are kept tight and controlled, producing a clean, disciplined texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Performs well in interface labels, dashboards, and product UI where compact width and clear modular shapes help conserve space. It also suits headlines, posters, and branding systems aiming for a technical or retro-futurist voice, and works nicely for packaging or equipment-style labeling where rounded-square forms feel purposeful.
The overall tone feels technical and instrument-like—clean, efficient, and slightly retro in a way that suggests terminals, labeling, and industrial interfaces. Its rounded-square geometry adds friendliness without losing the precise, engineered character.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, highly consistent rounded-rect aesthetic that reads as modern and technical while remaining approachable. The emphasis on modular geometry and tight, controlled shapes suggests an intent to be distinctive in display sizes yet orderly enough for short text and labeling.
Spacing reads fairly compact, reinforcing the condensed rhythm, while the rounded corners prevent the forms from feeling harsh. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-rect logic as the letters, supporting consistent display in UI or labeling contexts.
