A compact, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently rounded corners and largely uniform stroke weight. The design is condensed with tall proportions and a tight rhythm, emphasizing vertical stems and flat, clipped terminals. Curves are minimized and translated into superelliptic counters and bends, giving bowls and rounds (like O, C, e) a squared-off, geometric feel. Openings and apertures are relatively small, and interior counters tend to be narrow, producing a dense, poster-forward texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a compact, high-impact voice. It can work well for signage, esports or sports graphics, album or event titling, and UI moments that call for a condensed, technical accent. In longer text, its dense counters and narrow apertures suggest using larger sizes or generous leading for clarity.
The overall tone is industrial and techno-leaning, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of signage and machinery labeling. Its rigid geometry and compact spacing feel direct and functional, projecting confidence and control rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using a modular rounded-rectangle skeleton to create a consistent, mechanical aesthetic. It prioritizes bold legibility at distance and a strong, stylized identity over neutral body-text softness.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase a and g, a squared, blocky lowercase e with a tight counter, and a sharp, angular lowercase k. Numerals and capitals share the same modular construction, helping mixed settings look consistent and engineered.
