A condensed sans with a rounded-rectangle construction: curves read as softened corners rather than circular bowls, giving letters a superelliptical, almost modular geometry. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with mostly vertical stress and squared terminals eased by consistent rounding. Counters are compact but open enough for clarity, and the overall rhythm is tight and disciplined, with tall proportions and controlled spacing that keeps lines looking orderly.
Well suited to condensed headlines, signage, and wayfinding where space is limited but clarity is critical. The uniform strokes and squared-round geometry also work nicely for UI labels, dashboards, technical graphics, and packaging systems that benefit from a clean, standardized voice.
The tone is functional and engineered, evoking technical labeling, instrument panels, and mid-century industrial signage. Its squared curves and restrained detailing feel pragmatic and modernist, with a subtle retro-futurist edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, highly structured sans that feels contemporary and utilitarian while retaining a recognizable rounded-rect character. Its consistent geometry suggests a focus on repeatable forms and clear reading at a range of display sizes.
Distinctive squared-round forms show up across both capitals and lowercase, creating a cohesive, system-like look. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, and the overall design maintains consistent corner radii and stroke behavior, which helps it stay crisp in blocks of text and UI-style settings.
