This typeface is built from straight, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle curves, producing squared bowls and softly radiused corners. Proportions run condensed overall with tall caps and compact widths, giving a tight horizontal rhythm while preserving clear interior counters. Terminals are crisp and mostly flat, with minimal modulation and a consistent stroke presence across letters and numerals. Round letters like O, Q, and G read as superelliptical forms, and the overall construction feels geometric and systematic rather than calligraphic.
It suits short-to-medium display settings where a compact, technical voice is desired—UI labels, dashboards, device or industrial labeling, wayfinding, and modern poster headlines. In branding and packaging, it can deliver a clean, engineered look, especially when paired with simple layouts and generous spacing.
The font conveys a technical, modern tone with an industrial edge—orderly, engineered, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its squared geometry and narrow stance suggest interfaces, equipment labeling, and streamlined contemporary branding rather than warm or expressive editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for contemporary use. It prioritizes consistency, compactness, and a crisp mechanical rhythm to evoke modern technology and structured information design.
The grid sample shows strong consistency in corner radius and stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps the face stay coherent in mixed-case text. The sample text demonstrates good separation between similarly structured forms, with a distinctly squared ‘O’/zero-like silhouette and a generally compact footprint that keeps lines feeling efficient and controlled.
