A condensed geometric sans built from squared-round, superellipse-like shapes with consistently rounded corners and largely monolinear strokes. Vertical stems are prominent and straight, while bowls and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters a neat, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly flat or softly clipped, with occasional hooked or curved finishes that add rhythm without becoming decorative. Uppercase proportions are tall and compact; lowercase is similarly narrow with a relatively small x-height, producing a crisp, stacked texture in text.
Best suited to display work where its condensed width and engineered curves can read clearly—headlines, poster titles, product labeling, and branding marks. It also fits signage and wayfinding systems that benefit from compact letterforms and consistent, high-contrast silhouettes.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro-modern, like mid‑century labeling updated with a cleaner, more technical edge. Its compact shapes and squared curves convey efficiency and control, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears designed to blend a geometric, superellipse construction with a space-saving condensed structure, delivering a distinctive, system-like voice for contemporary display typography.
The design’s narrow set and tall vertical emphasis create a tight, economical line, while the rounded-rectangle construction helps maintain clarity at display sizes. Distinctive hooks and clipped joins in a few letters add character and prevent the texture from feeling purely mechanical.
