A compact, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and strongly squared counters. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely monoline, with softened corners and occasional tapered or notched terminals that give verticals a slightly chiseled finish. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and squarish arches, creating a tight, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase is compact with simple, sturdy forms; counters stay open but remain boxy, and the numerals share the same rounded-square skeleton for a highly unified texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand marks that want a geometric, tech-leaning voice. It can work well for signage and packaging where bold, compact letterforms need to hold their shape, and for UI or interface-style graphics at larger sizes where its modular construction reads as intentional.
The overall tone feels techno and industrial, with a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of signage, arcade-era graphics, or sci‑fi interfaces. Its rounded corners keep it friendly enough to avoid harshness, while the squared geometry and dense rhythm maintain a utilitarian, engineered character.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into an expressive, condensed display sans—prioritizing a consistent superelliptical skeleton, strong silhouette, and a distinctive terminal treatment for a modern, system-like aesthetic.
Distinctive sculpted terminals and internal cut-ins add character without introducing true contrast, helping individual letters stand apart at display sizes. The compact proportions and squared bowls can make repeated verticals feel very uniform, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect readability in longer runs.
