A condensed sans with monolinear strokes and a distinctly square-rounded construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like O, C, and G a superelliptical feel, while corners and terminals stay blunt and clean. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall proportions are tall with tight sidebearings that produce a dense, efficient texture in text. Diacritics and punctuation follow the same squared, minimal logic, and numerals share the same upright, compact rhythm.
Best suited to space-conscious settings where strong clarity is needed, such as signage, wayfinding, UI labels, dashboards, technical documentation headings, and compact packaging text. It also works well for bold editorial headlines and poster typography that benefits from a condensed, industrial voice.
The font projects a pragmatic, engineered tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro-industrial. Its squared curves and tight rhythm evoke labeling, equipment markings, and functional signage, while remaining contemporary and orderly.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly legible sans built from a consistent rounded-rectilinear geometry, prioritizing straightforward reading and a technical visual identity over expressive or calligraphic detail.
Many joins and shoulders (notably in n, m, h, and r) feel firmly constructed, with rounded interior transitions rather than calligraphic modulation. The condensed width and boxy counters keep word shapes compact, and the superelliptical rounds prevent the design from feeling harsh despite the squared geometry.
