A condensed, heavy sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry. Strokes are largely monoline with tight apertures and compact counters, giving the alphabet a dense, efficient texture. Corners are consistently softened, while terminals and joins stay crisp and vertical, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S read as squarish ovals, and the numerals follow the same boxed, streamlined construction for a highly uniform set.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—posters, headline systems, product labels, wayfinding, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or navigation elements when a compact, technical look is desired, especially in all caps or brief mixed-case phrases.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and mechanical, with a retro-futurist edge. Its tall, compact forms and restrained curves convey authority and speed, suggesting signage, machinery labeling, or classic sci‑fi titling rather than casual text.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using superellipse forms and softened corners to balance severity with polish. The consistent geometric construction prioritizes uniformity and legibility in large-scale applications and structured layouts.
The design leans on straight verticals and squared bowls, so interior space can appear tight at smaller sizes. Its consistent rounded-corner treatment helps keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the condensed proportions emphasize a strong vertical cadence in words and lines.
