A condensed geometric sans with a modular construction and consistently rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with squared terminals softened by generous corner radii, creating a superellipse-like rhythm across bowls and shoulders. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many joins are simplified to straight segments plus rounded corners, giving the alphabet a engineered, grid-friendly feel. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-off logic, maintaining a tight, even color in text.
Best suited for headlines, short text, and prominent UI/labeling where a compact, space-saving width is useful. It works well on posters, product packaging, logos/wordmarks, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage where a sturdy, modular texture supports quick scanning.
The overall tone reads industrial and retro-tech, like labeling on equipment, transit systems, or sci‑fi interfaces. Its softened corners keep it approachable, while the dense proportions and rigid geometry still feel efficient and machine-made.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed voice with a consistent rounded-rect geometry, prioritizing punchy impact and a systematic, engineered look. It balances strict modular structure with softened corners to stay readable and friendly while retaining a technical character.
The condensed width and large interior apertures help maintain recognition at display sizes, while the heavy, uniform stroke builds strong presence. The design’s repeated corner radii and squared counters create a distinctive, cohesive texture that can look especially crisp in high-contrast, flat-color applications.
