This typeface is built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, combining straight verticals with generously radiused corners. Strokes stay consistent and monoline, producing a crisp, modular rhythm with compact internal counters and tight apertures. Curves tend to be squared-off rather than fully circular, and terminals are blunt or softly rounded, giving letters a machined, engineered feel. Proportions skew compact and condensed, with tall ascenders/descenders and a neat, controlled texture in text.
It performs best in display settings where its condensed build and squared-rounded shapes can be appreciated: signage, brand marks, posters, packaging, and UI/label-style titling. In longer passages it can create a strong, stylized texture, especially at comfortable sizes with adequate tracking.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and technical, like mid-century signage or sci‑fi interface lettering. Its softened corners keep it approachable, while the squared curves and narrow build read as efficient and instrument-like. The result is modernist and purposeful rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge geometric construction with softened corners, yielding a streamlined sans that feels engineered and space-efficient. It aims for a distinctive superellipse identity that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals for cohesive display typography.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls appear across rounded letters, and several lowercase forms lean toward simplified, constructed geometry. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, maintaining a consistent industrial coherence across the set.
