A compact, tall sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry. Curves resolve into squared, softened corners, giving bowls and counters a superelliptic feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly straight and cut cleanly, with occasional hooked or bent endings on forms like the lowercase a and j. Proportions are condensed with prominent verticals, tight apertures, and small, controlled counters, producing a crisp, columnar rhythm in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a condensed footprint is helpful: headlines, posters, wayfinding, labels, and packaging. Its clear, structured shapes also work well for UI headings, dashboards, and technical layouts where a firm, engineered tone is desired.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of signage and engineered labeling. Its rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, but the narrow stance and strict verticality still read as technical and utilitarian. The voice is confident and practical rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans that stays visually consistent through a rounded-rectangle construction. By pairing strict vertical rhythm with softened corners, it aims to read as modern and technical while retaining a slightly vintage, signage-like character.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase a, a narrow lowercase e with a compact eye, and a Q with a vertical, centered tail. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, with a narrow 0 and a 7 that reads sharply constructed. The uppercase set maintains consistent width and spacing discipline, supporting an orderly, grid-like texture.
