A tall, condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and generously rounded corners. Stems are straight and clean, while curves are simplified into soft, squarish arcs that keep counters open and readable. Many joins show subtle notches and small breaks that create an ink-trap-like effect, giving letters like K, M, N, W, and X a distinctive segmented construction. The overall rhythm is vertical and even, with compact widths, clear differentiation between similar forms, and streamlined numerals that echo the same rounded-rectangle geometry.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where its tall stance and distinctive join details can be appreciated. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from compact width and clear, open letterforms. For longer passages, it remains legible, but the quirky join cuts and narrow rhythm make it most effective at display and short-to-medium text sizes.
The font balances a utilitarian, system-like clarity with a quirky, retro personality. Its rounded geometry and little cut-in details lend a friendly, slightly whimsical tone, while the disciplined stroke and narrow footprint keep it feeling orderly and purposeful. The result reads as playful-modern with a light industrial or mid-century sci‑fi flavor.
The design appears intended to offer a compact, space-saving sans with a recognizable signature: rounded-rectilinear curves paired with deliberate join notches. It aims to feel clean and functional while still standing apart from conventional grotesques through its segmented diagonals and softly engineered shapes.
Distinctive details include small separations at diagonals and joins (especially in V/W/X and some uppercase diagonals), plus a single-storey look across several lowercase forms. The design keeps punctuation and dots simple and circular, and the figures maintain the same upright, compact stance, supporting a cohesive texture in longer text.
