A tall, condensed sans with a consistent single-stroke construction and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Vertical stems dominate, while bowls and shoulders resolve into softly squared corners rather than true circles, creating a tidy, engineered rhythm. Counters tend to be open and narrow, terminals are clean and unadorned, and joins stay crisp without flare. Numerals and capitals follow the same elongated proportions, producing an even, columnar texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where its condensed, geometric personality can be a feature—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or interface headings where a clean, technical tone is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels precise and futuristic, with a lightweight, streamlined presence that reads as technical and contemporary. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a subtle retro electronic flavor—more instrument-panel than humanist—while staying calm and minimal.
The font appears designed to deliver a compact, space-efficient look with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing a sleek, modern voice and a consistent monoline drawing style. Its proportions and simplified forms suggest an intention to evoke technology and contemporary industrial design while maintaining a clean, minimal typographic texture.
The design’s narrow widths and tall ascenders/descenders give it a distinctive vertical emphasis, and the squarish roundness keeps curves consistent across letters and numbers. The light stroke and tight interior spaces suggest it will look most confident when given enough size or contrast to prevent the thin lines from visually fading.
