A condensed, monoline sans with a squared geometry softened by rounded corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle footprint rather than a true circle. Strokes stay even with flat terminals, producing a crisp, engineered texture; joins are clean and corners are consistently radiused. Proportions are compact with tight interior spacing in letters like B, P, R, and 8, while overall spacing remains orderly and gridlike in the sample text.
Well suited to UI labeling, dashboards, and product interfaces where compact width and consistent stroke weight help maintain clarity. It also works for signage, wayfinding, and technical packaging, and can deliver a distinctive, modern voice in headlines and short text settings.
The tone reads technical and no-nonsense, with a subtle sci‑fi and industrial feel. Its squared forms and controlled rhythm suggest instruments, interfaces, and engineered labeling rather than expressive or humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient sans with a geometric, squared-with-rounded-corners construction, balancing a modern display personality with practical legibility for contemporary technical and branding contexts.
Uppercase shapes feel especially constructed (notably the squarish O/Q and the rectangular bowls), and the lowercase follows the same logic with compact, squared counters. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle structure, supporting a consistent, systemized look across text and data.
