A tall, tightly set sans with uniform stroke weight and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off bowls and terminals with softened corners rather than true circular arcs. Counters are narrow and elongated, and many joins resolve into crisp right angles, giving letters a structured, engineered feel. The overall texture is even and clean, with consistent stem widths and restrained curves that stay close to the vertical axis.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where a compact, vertical texture is desirable—headlines, posters, packaging panels, and signage. It can also work well for UI labels, diagrams, and technical or industrial branding where a clean, space-saving sans is needed.
The font reads as utilitarian and retro-industrial, evoking labeling, machinery markings, and mid-century sign systems. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded-square construction lend it a disciplined, technical tone while staying approachable due to the softened corners.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, highly regular display sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangular construction. It balances a strict, engineered skeleton with softened corners to maintain clarity and a friendly edge.
The condensed proportions emphasize height and compactness, which helps the design hold together in tight layouts but also makes open shapes (like C/S/e) feel more enclosed and streamlined. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded-rectilinear logic, keeping a cohesive, system-like character across letters and figures.
