A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and superelliptic curves that keep counters soft while maintaining a crisp, engineered silhouette. Terminals are consistently rounded, and many forms show simplified, modular construction—especially in bowls and arches—creating a slightly “stamped” rhythm. Curves are tightened and verticals stay dominant, while diagonals and joins are handled with minimal contrast for a clean, uniform texture. Numerals and lowercase follow the same rounded-square logic, producing an even color and a compact, tall-set feel in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding, and signage where its compact width and rounded-rectangular forms read as intentional design. It also works well for packaging and logotypes that benefit from a retro-tech or industrial-friendly voice, and for short UI labels where a condensed, high-structure look is desired.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and lightly industrial, like signage or equipment labeling from a mid-century or arcade-inspired context. Its rounded corners and simplified shapes add a friendly, playful edge, while the narrow proportions and disciplined strokes keep it functional and tech-adjacent rather than whimsical.
The design appears aimed at combining an engineered, modular construction with softened corners to stay approachable. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and efficient horizontal economy, delivering a display-forward sans that evokes retro hardware, transit, or arcade-era typography while remaining clean and contemporary in texture.
Some glyphs exhibit distinctive, idiosyncratic construction (notably in curved letters and certain joins), which adds personality and helps it stand out at display sizes. The condensed width increases impact in headlines but also emphasizes the font’s vertical cadence, making spacing and line length important for comfortable reading.
