A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction: curves resolve into soft corners and flattened arcs rather than true circles. Strokes stay even throughout, with straight-sided verticals and compact bowls that emphasize a tidy, engineered geometry. Apertures are relatively tight, counters are narrow, and terminals are cleanly cut, producing a crisp, disciplined rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect style, with compact interior spaces and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and compact typographic layouts where a condensed footprint is useful and the geometric character can lead. It also fits signage-style applications and UI labels where a clean, engineered tone is desired, especially when set with a bit of extra spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is modern and functional, leaning toward technical and architectural signage aesthetics. Its controlled geometry and tight spacing read as efficient and no-nonsense, with a subtle softness from the rounded corners that keeps it from feeling harsh.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed skeleton with rounded-rect geometry for a contemporary, system-like look. The consistent stroke weight and disciplined shapes suggest an emphasis on clarity, reproducibility, and a cohesive industrial/technical voice.
The design’s squarish rounds and consistently softened corners create a distinctive “superellipse” flavor that remains apparent in both uppercase and lowercase. At display sizes it reads confidently graphic; at smaller sizes the narrow counters and tight apertures may benefit from generous leading and careful tracking.
