A compact sans with rounded-rectangular (superelliptical) bowls and a generally monoline stroke. Curves resolve into softly squared corners, giving counters and terminals a blocky, machined feel rather than a purely geometric circle. Proportions are tight and space-efficient, with tall, simple capitals and a straightforward lowercase that keeps forms open and legible. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with sturdy shapes and clear interior counters.
Works well where a compact, high-impact sans is needed: signage, headlines, posters, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, space-saving footprint. It also suits UI labels and wayfinding-style layouts where the squared-round shapes remain clear at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and slightly retro, evoking functional signage and industrial labeling. Its squared softness reads approachable but disciplined, balancing warmth from the rounded corners with a pragmatic, engineered rhythm.
Likely designed to deliver a functional, condensed sans voice with superelliptical geometry, pairing efficient width with friendly rounded corners for a contemporary-industrial look that holds up in display and short text settings.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show the signature rounded-rectangle construction, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay clean and economical. The sample text demonstrates even texture in dense settings, with a consistent, workmanlike color across lines.
