A compact sans built from squared-off curves and superelliptical bowls, combining rounded-rectangle counters with crisp, flat terminals. Strokes show clear contrast between thick verticals and thinner horizontals, giving the design a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Corners are consistently softened rather than sharp, and many round letters (O, Q, C) read as rounded boxes with tight, controlled apertures. Proportions lean tall and narrow in the uppercase, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey structure where present, with pragmatic shapes and minimal modulation beyond the vertical/horizontal contrast.
Best suited for display settings where strong geometry and compact rhythm are assets—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems with an industrial or technical bent. It can also work for signage and labels where the squared, controlled forms help maintain a consistent, engineered look.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a disciplined, machine-made calm. Its squared curves and condensed stance suggest signage, equipment labeling, and mid-century utilitarian typography rather than friendly or calligraphic expression.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a functional, contemporary display sans with a retro-industrial undertone. By pairing softened corners with pronounced vertical emphasis and flat terminals, it aims for clarity and impact without decorative flourish.
Distinctive details include a boxy, rounded-square "O" and a "Q" with a short vertical tail, plus numerals that share the same squared curvature and flat-cut endings. Spacing in the sample text reads even and compact, producing a dense, poster-like texture at larger sizes.
