A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (C, O, Q) while horizontals and verticals stay straight and even, giving a modular, engineered rhythm. Apertures are fairly open and counters are squarish-rounded rather than circular; terminals are clean and blunt with minimal stroke modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and functional, with single-storey a and g, a narrow t with a simple crossbar, and a compact r; numerals follow the same squared-round logic for a cohesive, grid-friendly texture.
Well suited to interfaces, dashboards, captions, and any setting that benefits from compact line length and consistent character width. It also works for technical branding, product labeling, wayfinding, and small-format print where a clean, engineered texture and straightforward letterforms support quick scanning.
The overall tone is technical and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-industrial feel reminiscent of labeling, instrumentation, and early digital/terminal aesthetics. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable while the condensed proportions and rigid construction read as efficient and systematic.
The font appears designed to provide a compact, highly consistent reading texture with a geometric, rounded-rectangle voice—balancing strict modular construction with softened corners to keep dense information readable and visually friendly.
The design maintains tight, consistent spacing and a steady vertical emphasis, producing an even “typewriter-like” cadence in paragraphs. Distinctive superelliptical bowls and rounded interior corners help maintain clarity at small sizes while preserving a strong geometric identity in display settings.
