A tall, tightly proportioned sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptic feel (notably in O, Q, and the numerals). Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional subtle rounding that keeps the texture from feeling sharp. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with narrow letterforms, small apertures, and consistent stroke weight that reads evenly across text.
Best suited to display contexts where space is tight and vertical emphasis is desirable, such as posters, headlines, navigation systems, wayfinding, packaging, and interface labels. It can also work for short blocks of text (captions, pull quotes) where a compact, engineered texture is a feature rather than a drawback.
The tone is utilitarian and slightly retro, like labeling, signage, or technical display type from mid-century to early digital eras. Its condensed stance and squared-round geometry lend a mechanical, architectural confidence, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears aimed at a space-saving condensed voice with a consistent, modular feel, using rounded-rectangle curves to create a distinctive identity without relying on ornament. It prioritizes a steady typographic color and clear, functional silhouettes for modern display and labeling scenarios.
The uppercase set emphasizes straight-sided construction (E, F, H, N) with squarish bowls (B, D, P, R). The lowercase maintains the same geometry with compact forms and simple, functional details; the numeral set follows the same rounded-rectilinear logic, supporting a cohesive typographic color in mixed alphanumerics.
