A compact, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with squarish counters and softly radiused corners. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with a straightforward vertical/horizontal construction and minimal modulation. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and apertures, giving letters like C, G, O, and Q a squared-round feel, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay sturdy and controlled. The lowercase is dense and utilitarian, with a high x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and simplified forms that keep rhythm tight in text.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and branding systems that want a technical, geometric voice. The compact proportions and sturdy shapes also fit wayfinding and signage, as well as UI labels and dashboard-style interfaces where a strong, condensed presence is desirable. It performs best at display sizes or short text blocks where its dense rhythm can read crisply.
The overall tone is technical and engineered, projecting a no-nonsense, industrial confidence. Its rounded-square shapes add a retro-futurist flavor—more arcade/display than editorial—while remaining clean and legible. The font reads as modern, structured, and slightly militaristic without becoming overly aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, space-efficient sans with a distinctive superelliptic skeleton—combining the clarity of geometric construction with softened corners for a contemporary, industrial look. It prioritizes consistent color, compact set width, and a recognizable squared-round signature across letters and numerals.
Spacing appears tuned for compact setting, and the uniform stroke weight creates strong word shapes at medium-to-large sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-round logic, producing a cohesive, signage-like texture, especially in all-caps lines.
