A tall, tightly set sans with a geometric, superellipse construction: many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms and soft corners rather than true circles. Strokes are largely uniform with only subtle modulation, and terminals are clean and squared-off, giving a crisp, engineered rhythm. The proportions are condensed with long verticals, compact bowls, and relatively small apertures; counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented. Distinctive capped curves appear in letters like U/V/W and the rounded capitals (e.g., D/O/Q), while the lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey approach where applicable and a straight, compact spine-and-bowl structure overall.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, identity wordmarks, packaging, and short UI or signage labels where its condensed geometry can read as deliberate and stylized. It can work for brief text blocks at larger sizes, especially when spacing is adjusted to preserve clarity in the tight counters.
The tone reads as retro-futurist and industrial—evoking signage, sci‑fi titling, and streamlined modernism. Its narrow, modular silhouettes and softened corners create a controlled, machine-made feel that still remains approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears designed to deliver a coherent, modular geometric voice—prioritizing a streamlined, space-saving silhouette and a consistent superellipse curve logic for strong, contemporary-meets-retro display impact.
The design’s consistency comes from repeating rounded-rectangle curves across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong visual system. In text settings it creates a vertical, rhythmic texture with prominent stems and relatively tight inner spaces, making it most comfortable when given a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
