A condensed, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing a sturdy, poster-ready color, while counters tend to be squarish and tightly controlled. Curves resolve into smooth superelliptical arcs rather than true circles, and terminals are blunt and clean. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tall lowercase proportions and simplified, highly regular forms across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its compact width and heavy, uniform strokes can deliver impact without losing clarity. It works particularly well for signage, packaging, and brand marks that want a clean geometric voice with a retro-tech flavor, and it holds up nicely in all-caps and mixed-case display lines.
The font reads as retro-futurist and utilitarian at once—friendly due to the rounded corners, but also machine-like because of its strict geometry. Its compact forms and sturdy weight give it a bold, signage-oriented confidence, with a subtly playful edge reminiscent of classic sci‑fi and mid-century industrial graphics.
The design appears intended to merge strict geometric construction with softened, approachable corners, yielding a functional display sans that feels modern yet referential. It prioritizes consistent rhythm, strong silhouette, and a compact footprint for space-efficient, high-contrast typography in graphic applications.
Distinctive rounded-rect shapes show most strongly in O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R, while joins in letters like m/w lean toward smooth, continuous arches rather than sharp angles. Numerals follow the same squared, softened logic, maintaining an even, cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
