A compact sans with tall proportions and a strongly squared construction softened by rounded-rectangle corners. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with small, controlled apertures and counters that stay readable despite the tight internal space. Curved letters lean toward superelliptical bowls, and many terminals finish with straight cuts, giving the outlines a crisp, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is dense and regular, with minimal contrast and a sturdy, blocky silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where space is limited and a strong vertical presence is helpful—headlines, posters, labels, and packaging. It can also work for wayfinding-style signage and UI moments that benefit from a condensed, technical voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The font conveys a functional, machine-made tone—clean, no-nonsense, and slightly retro in the way it echoes labeling and signage aesthetics. Its compact width and squared forms suggest efficiency and control, leaning more technical than friendly.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, high-clarity sans that feels engineered and robust. By combining squared geometry with rounded corners and consistent stroke weight, it aims for a modern industrial look that remains legible and visually disciplined in dense settings.
Distinctive squared rounds show up in letters like O/Q and in numerals, while tight joins and narrow apertures create a consistent, modular texture in text. The lowercase maintains a pragmatic, simplified structure with short extenders and compact bowls, keeping lines visually even in paragraphs.
