A condensed, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and consistent stroke weight. Curves are minimized in favor of straight stems, flat terminals, and softly radiused corners, creating a squared-off rhythm throughout. Counters tend to be rectangular and fairly tight, with a compact, vertical silhouette and sturdy proportions that stay clean at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, with simplified bowls and joints that keep the texture even and mechanical.
Works best for headlines, poster typography, and branding where a compact, high-impact wordmark is needed. The squared geometry and rounded corners also suit packaging, signage, and interface-style graphics where a technical yet approachable voice is desirable.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and machine-made—like labeling on equipment, arcade-era graphics, or sci‑fi UI. Its rounded corners soften the strict geometry, adding a friendly, playful edge while still reading as technical and utilitarian.
The font appears intended to deliver a distinct, modular voice using rounded-rectangle construction—prioritizing graphic consistency and a strong silhouette for display use. Its condensed structure suggests an aim for punchy presence and efficient space usage while maintaining a playful, retro-tech character.
The design relies on repeated superelliptical motifs across letters and numerals, which gives headings a strong, uniform pattern. The squarish apertures and condensed spacing create a dense typographic color that favors short lines and prominent statements over long-form reading.
