A compact, tightly condensed sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform in weight, with straight-sided verticals and flattened curves that keep counters narrow and tall. Terminals are clean and squared-off rather than tapered, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, giving lines of text a dense, orderly texture. Uppercase forms are tall and rectangular; lowercase follows with similarly narrow bowls and a simple, functional construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and signage where condensed width helps fit text into tight spaces. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, technical voice; for long passages, the narrow counters and dense texture suggest using larger sizes and generous spacing.
The font reads as industrial and utilitarian, with a subtle retro-tech flavor reminiscent of labeling, machinery, and streamlined signage. Its rounded-rectangle geometry keeps the tone approachable while still feeling precise and engineered.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry and uniform strokes to create a strong, legible display voice. Its consistent construction emphasizes efficiency and clarity over calligraphic nuance.
Counters tend to be small relative to the heavy exterior shapes, which amplifies a dark, compact color on the page. Several glyphs feature distinctive rectangular apertures and clipped joins that reinforce the squared, modular theme.
