A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a tall, narrow silhouette. Curves are consistently built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing superellipse-like bowls and corners rather than circular forms. Terminals are mostly squared off with softened radii, and counters stay tight and vertically oriented, giving letters a stacked, architectural feel. The rhythm is even and mechanical, with clean joins and simplified constructions across both cases and figures.
Works best where a condensed, highly stylized sans is desirable: headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding systems that lean into a tech or retro-future aesthetic. It can also suit short UI labels or on-device graphics where tight width and a modular look help maintain a clean, organized layout.
The overall tone feels futuristic and instrument-like, evoking sci‑fi titling, digital interfaces, and late modern/retro-tech graphics. Its narrow stance and rounded-square curves read as efficient and engineered, while the softened corners keep it friendly rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangular geometry into an all-purpose display sans: narrow, orderly, and instantly recognizable. It prioritizes consistent curvature logic and a compact footprint to deliver a distinctive, modern-tech voice in titles and short text.
Uppercase forms appear especially tall and slim, and the lowercase keeps a similarly narrow footprint, reinforcing a uniform vertical cadence in text. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying compact and highly stylized, which makes them visually cohesive for display use.
