A condensed sans with a modular construction built from straight strokes and rounded-rectangle corners. Curves resolve into squared, superellipse-like bowls, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Strokes read largely monolinear with subtle optical modulation at joins, and terminals tend to be flat or slightly rounded. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow counters and simplified apertures that emphasize a clean, geometric silhouette.
Best suited to short headlines, interface labels, wayfinding, and packaging where a condensed, technical look helps conserve space and create a structured hierarchy. It can also work for posters and titling that benefit from an engineered, retro-futurist aesthetic; for long passages, larger sizes and generous tracking will help maintain clarity.
The typeface conveys a technical, industrial tone—evoking labeling, instrumentation, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its squared curves and constrained width create a focused, no-nonsense voice that feels both retro-digital and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-efficient display sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing geometric order with legible, familiar letterforms. Its consistent construction suggests an emphasis on system-like cohesion across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Uppercase forms appear more rigid and rectilinear, while lowercase introduces occasional idiosyncratic details (notably in curved letters and descenders) that reinforce the modular theme. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with compact shapes and small internal counters suited to dense settings.
