This typeface is built from straight, monoline strokes and softly squared curves, giving counters and bowls a rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) feel. Corners are consistently radiused, terminals are clean and blunt, and curves transition into stems with minimal contrast or calligraphic modulation. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with tight apertures and simplified construction that reads as deliberately modular. The overall rhythm is even and controlled, with a slightly engineered look that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, wayfinding, and other contexts that benefit from compact, high-structure letterforms. It can also work in posters, product branding, and packaging where a retro-tech or industrial mood is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The design conveys a technical, retro-futurist tone—clean, efficient, and machine-made rather than expressive or handwritten. Its softened corners keep it approachable, while the narrow, structured geometry suggests instrumentation, interfaces, and industrial labeling.
The font appears intended to deliver a modernist, engineered sans with superelliptical curves—balancing strict geometry with friendly rounded corners. Its compact proportions and modular construction suggest an aim toward space-efficient display and labeling applications with a distinct technical character.
Round forms like O/0 and bowls in B/P/R appear squarish with rounded corners, while letters such as G and S keep open, streamlined shapes. Lowercase forms are simplified and tall, helping maintain a uniform texture; the numeral set matches the same square-rounded logic for a cohesive, system-like voice.
