A condensed, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with corners softened into superellipse-like curves. Strokes are even and the overall silhouette is tall and compact, producing a tight rhythm and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves (O, C, G, Q) read as squared rounds rather than true circles, and bowls/counters are kept clean and relatively open for the width. Terminals are typically flat, with occasional hook-like turns in letters such as J and y that add a subtle mechanical character.
Best suited to display applications where its condensed, modular structure can set a strong tone—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks with a technical or futuristic angle. It also works well for short UI labels, dashboards, and signage-style typography where a tight, orderly rhythm is desirable.
The font projects a streamlined, technical mood with a hint of retro sci‑fi. Its squared rounds and uniform strokes feel engineered and modular, giving text a controlled, contemporary edge that can also evoke digital interfaces and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a distinctive squared-round voice—merging geometric clarity with softened corners to stay approachable while still feeling engineered and modern.
Uppercase forms are especially architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same squared-round construction for consistency. Numerals follow the same narrow, squared geometry, with simple, no-nonsense shapes that align visually with the caps in height and presence. Overall spacing appears measured and compact, supporting a clean, structured texture in paragraphs.
