A condensed sans with a squarish, superellipse skeleton and consistently softened corners. Strokes read largely monoline with subtle optical modulation at curves and joins, producing a steady, even color in text. Counters are compact and rounded-rectangular, and many terminals finish with flat, squared ends rather than tapered cuts. The lowercase is clean and legible with simple, single-storey forms and short crossbars, while capitals keep a tall, narrow stance and a slightly engineered, modular rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a compact footprint and a distinctive rounded-rect geometry are advantages. It also works well for signage and short UI labels when a friendly, modern-industrial character is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels upbeat and slightly retro, with a friendly, gadget-like geometry that recalls mid‑century signage and contemporary UI iconography at the same time. Its narrow build and rounded rectangles give it a quirky, energetic voice without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend condensed efficiency with a recognizable superellipse motif, delivering a clean sans voice that feels both approachable and slightly futuristic. Its consistent rounding and compact counters suggest an emphasis on visual identity and rhythm over neutral text setting.
Distinctive superellipse curves show up strongly in bowls and rounded letters, and the numerals follow the same condensed, squared-off logic for a cohesive alphanumeric texture. In longer text, spacing and counters create a tight, efficient rhythm that reads best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking or size.
