A condensed, monoline sans with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are built from squared-off bowls with generous corner radii, producing superellipse-like counters and a consistent, tube-like stroke. Terminals are mostly blunt and softly rounded, and joins stay clean with minimal contrast, giving the alphabet an even, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms feel tall and compact, while the lowercase maintains clear, simplified silhouettes; numerals follow the same rounded geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed rhythm and rounded-rect geometry can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and wayfinding or storefront signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a friendly, retro-tech voice is desired.
The overall tone is retro-modern and approachable, mixing mid-century display energy with a slightly futuristic, gadget-like precision. Its softened corners keep it friendly, while the narrow, vertical emphasis adds a crisp, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, geometric sans that feels both vintage and contemporary, using rounded-rectangle anatomy to create a memorable texture without relying on ornament. It prioritizes visual identity and consistency across letters and figures for brand-forward typography.
Distinctive rounded-square shaping shows up across bowls and counters, and several letters lean into idiosyncratic, custom-like structures (notably in characters with arches and diagonals), which strengthens its personality in headlines. Spacing and proportions read tight and vertical, reinforcing the condensed feel and making the texture look orderly at larger sizes.
