A condensed geometric sans with a squared, superellipse-based construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are largely monoline, with clean vertical stems and compact bowls that read like rounded rectangles rather than circles. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and terminals are blunt, contributing to a tight, efficient rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, blocky joins, keeping the texture uniform in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a condensed, geometric voice is needed and letterforms can be set with comfortable tracking. It also fits signage, UI labels, and packaging that benefit from a compact footprint and sturdy, high-impact forms. For longer reading, it will work more comfortably at larger sizes where the tight counters can open up visually.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a retro-futurist, display-driven presence. Its compact width and boxy curves suggest machinery, signage, and engineered systems rather than warm editorial typography. The rounded corners soften the severity just enough to feel modern and controlled instead of harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-efficient sans with a distinctive squared-round construction for high-impact display settings. Its consistent stroke behavior and uniform geometry suggest an emphasis on repeatable shapes and a clean, engineered texture across letters and figures.
Capitals present a tall, compact silhouette with squared curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and sturdy. Figures are similarly squared and compact, with a strong, sign-like weight and simplified interior shapes that prioritize consistency over delicacy.
