A condensed geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms. Strokes are largely monolinear with crisp terminals and generous corner radii, producing a squared-yet-soft silhouette. Counters tend to be tall and narrow, with consistent vertical rhythm and a tightly controlled footprint across the alphabet. The design favors straight stems and flat shoulders over calligraphic modulation, and several glyphs show slightly idiosyncratic constructions (notably the angular joins and compact bowls) that reinforce a constructed, modular feel.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short to medium text where a strong, engineered voice is desirable. It can work well for tech branding, product marks, packaging, and UI labels—especially in space-constrained layouts that benefit from condensed letterforms. For longer reading, its constructed shapes and tight rhythm will be most comfortable at larger sizes.
The overall tone reads technical and futuristic, with a hint of retro digital signage. Its squared curves and compressed proportions suggest machinery, interfaces, and engineered systems rather than warmth or handwriting. The rounded corners keep it approachable while preserving a disciplined, utilitarian attitude.
The design intention appears to be a compact, high-impact sans that merges squared geometry with rounded corners for a contemporary, system-like aesthetic. It aims to deliver strong recognition in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent superelliptical shape language across letters and numerals.
Spacing appears tight and efficient, supporting dense setting without losing the distinct, geometric character. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry and look optimized for display or UI contexts where compact width and strong shape differentiation matter.
