A compact sans with squared, softened corners and a consistently heavy stroke that reads as monoline at display sizes. Curves are expressed through chamfered, octagonal turns rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish geometry. Apertures are relatively tight and corners often terminate in rounded caps, creating a clean, sturdy rhythm with minimal contrast. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with angular joins and rounded terminals that keep the texture even across lines.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its compact, faceted shapes can carry personality: headlines, posters, product packaging, wayfinding, and branding marks. It can also work well in UI or on-screen labels when you want a sturdy, technical voice with softened corners, but it will be most distinctive at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels engineered and utilitarian, with a confident, sporty punch. Its faceted rounding suggests modern tech interfaces and industrial labeling, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The look also nods to retro digital and arcade-era aesthetics without becoming overtly decorative.
This design appears intended to merge a robust, condensed sans structure with rounded-corner, polygonal construction for a modern-industrial feel. The consistent stroke and repeated chamfer logic suggest a focus on clear, durable letterforms that remain visually cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The forms maintain a strong modular consistency, with repeated chamfers and corner radii across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Mixed-case text shows a slightly mechanical cadence, especially in letters with diagonals and bends, where the angular rounding becomes a defining signature.
