This typeface is built from tall, condensed letterforms drawn with an even, monoline stroke. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than pure circles. Terminals are consistently rounded, and many joins feel mechanically smooth, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. The caps are narrow and vertical, while the lowercase is compact with a noticeably low x-height and simple, open constructions.
It works especially well for headlines, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a condensed footprint and a distinctive geometric voice. It can also suit packaging, labels, and signage where rounded-corner forms convey friendliness without losing a precise, technical feel.
The overall tone feels retro-futuristic and technical while staying approachable due to the softened corners. It reads as minimalist and orderly, with a subtle “instrument panel” character rather than a purely neutral modern sans.
The design appears intended to merge a compact, space-efficient structure with rounded-rectangle geometry, creating a recognizable display sans that feels both engineered and inviting.
Figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry as the letters, with clear, straightforward silhouettes suited to display sizes. The texture in text is airy and vertical, and the consistent stroke width keeps the page color steady even in long lines.
