A condensed sans with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are largely monoline with softly radiused corners, producing superelliptical bowls and counters rather than true circles. Curves transition into straight stems with a squared-off rhythm, and many glyphs show intentionally tight apertures and compact internal spaces. The overall texture is clean and uniform, with tall proportions, short crossbars, and restrained terminals that emphasize a vertical, engineered feel.
Best suited to display settings where a compact footprint is useful—headlines, posters, and space-constrained layouts. The crisp, engineered shapes also fit signage, packaging, and brand systems that want an industrial or technical accent, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight apertures remain clear.
The tone reads technical and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, instrumentation, and streamlined signage. Its narrow stance and squared curves give it a precise, no-nonsense voice that still feels stylized and designed rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to blend a contemporary condensed sans skeleton with a rounded-rectangle, modular aesthetic. It prioritizes consistency of geometry and a streamlined vertical rhythm to create a distinctive, technical display voice.
In running text, the condensed width creates a dense, column-like color, while the rounded-square geometry keeps shapes distinct and consistent. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-curve logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like appearance.
