A condensed, squared sans with monoline strokes and consistently rounded outer corners that soften an otherwise rigid, modular construction. Counters tend to be rectangular and often inset like cutouts, while terminals are largely flat and orthogonal, giving the letters a machined, stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. The lowercase maintains a tall, linear profile with minimal extenders, and the overall spacing reads tight and efficient, emphasizing verticality and compact word shapes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a technical or futuristic tone is desired. It also fits packaging, signage, and UI-style graphics where compact width and strong geometry help information feel structured and systematized.
The style feels engineered and utilitarian, with a retro-futurist voice that suggests instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its blocky geometry and squared curves communicate precision and technology more than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly recognizable, compact sans with a machine-made aesthetic—prioritizing strong silhouette, vertical efficiency, and a consistent modular logic for attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive details—such as the squared bowls, boxy apertures, and occasional notch-like joins—create a strong signature at display sizes. In longer lines the condensed build and dense internal shapes can increase visual noise, so it benefits from generous tracking and clear hierarchy when used for text.
