A condensed, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with corners consistently softened into superellipse-like curves. Strokes are even and straight segments dominate, while bowls and turns resolve into squared-off arcs rather than true circles. Counters are compact and vertical rhythm is strong, with tall ascenders and a generally tight, efficient footprint. Terminals are clean and blunt, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette across both caps and lowercase.
Works best where space is limited and clarity is needed, such as UI labels, dashboards, product labeling, and wayfinding systems. The condensed proportions and strong verticality also suit headlines, posters, and branded titling that aims for a technical or futuristic voice.
The overall tone feels modern and utilitarian with a subtle retro-tech flavor, reminiscent of signage, instrumentation, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its rounded-square construction keeps it friendly enough to avoid harshness, while still reading as precise and systematic.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly consistent sans with a rounded-rect skeleton—optimized for orderly layouts and a contemporary, engineered aesthetic. Its uniform stroke weight and modular curves suggest an emphasis on reproducibility and visual systematization.
Distinctive constructions—such as the squared “O/0” forms, compact apertures in letters like C and S, and the angular diagonals in V/W/X—reinforce a cohesive modular logic. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect theme and appear designed to stay clear in dense settings.
