A compact, geometric sans built from squared-round (superellipse-like) forms and firm, monoline strokes. Curves resolve into flattened arcs and rounded corners rather than true circles, giving counters a slightly rectangular feel. Vertical stems are dominant and evenly weighted, with tight apertures and short joins that keep silhouettes compact. The overall rhythm is orderly and grid-like, with consistent stroke endings and a preference for straightened curves in letters like C, G, O, and S.
Best suited to display settings where tight width and strong presence matter: headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or dashboard-style interfaces where compact typography helps conserve space, though extended reading in small sizes may feel dense due to tight openings.
The tone is functional and modern, with an industrial, engineered flavor. Its condensed stance and squared rounding read as technical and no-nonsense, leaning toward contemporary signage and device-like UI aesthetics rather than friendly or calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining clean, engineered geometry. Squared-rounded curves and uniform stroke weight suggest a goal of modern clarity with a slightly industrial edge, optimized for bold, space-efficient messaging.
Uppercase shapes feel particularly sturdy and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same squared-round logic for bowls and shoulders. Numerals share the same compact construction and strong vertical emphasis, staying visually consistent with the caps in weight and footprint.
