A monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with consistently softened corners and mostly straight-sided bowls. Strokes keep an even thickness and favor vertical, condensed proportions, producing tall, compact letterforms and a tight horizontal footprint. Curves are squared-off rather than circular, and several joins show small notches or angular transitions that emphasize a constructed, modular feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, maintaining a uniform, grid-friendly rhythm.
Works best in display contexts where its condensed geometry and squared-rounded curves can be appreciated—headlines, interface labels, dashboards, product/tech branding, and signage-style applications. It can also suit short bursts of text (taglines, captions) when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone feels technical and futuristic, with a subtle retro sci‑fi and industrial signage character. Its clean, engineered shapes read as modern and controlled rather than friendly or calligraphic.
Designed to deliver a compact, highly consistent geometric voice rooted in rounded-rect construction. The intention appears to be a sleek, engineered look that stays clean at a glance and supports contemporary, technology-leaning typography.
Counters are generally narrow and rectangular, and terminals tend to end in flat cuts with rounded corners. The typeface maintains strong stylistic consistency across cases and figures, which helps it feel systematic and display-oriented.
