A condensed geometric sans with a squared, rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke thickness. Corners are consistently softened, curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls, and terminals tend to end flat, reinforcing a modular, engineered feel. The lowercase is compact with a notably tall x-height, tight internal counters, and simplified forms that keep rhythm even in dense text. Numerals and capitals follow the same boxy logic, with open apertures and clipped joins that maintain clarity at display sizes.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and product branding where its compact width and modular shapes can stand out. It can also work for interface labels, dashboards, and on-device graphics, especially when set with comfortable tracking to preserve counter space.
The overall tone is technical and forward-leaning, evoking digital interfaces, instrument panels, and sci‑fi titling. Its rounded-square geometry reads modern and controlled rather than playful, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of late-20th-century tech graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly structured sans that communicates precision and a contemporary tech aesthetic while remaining legible through consistent stroke weight and clear, squared counters.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, and many letters rely on squared bowls and straight-sided stems, producing a strong vertical cadence. Distinctive angular details in diagonals and joints add character without breaking the consistent geometric system.
