A compact, squared sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently heavy, even strokes. Counters are generally rectangular with softened corners, and curves resolve into boxy superellipse turns rather than circular bowls. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, with minimal modulation and crisp, mechanical joins that keep the texture firm and orderly. The lowercase stays compact with simple forms (notably a single-storey “a”), and spacing is tight but legible, producing a dense, vertical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a strong, compact presence is desired—such as posters, branding lockups, packaging, wayfinding, and UI labels. It also works well for technical graphics, sports/industrial themes, and retro-styled digital or game-adjacent design where a tight, structured texture helps conserve space without losing impact.
The overall tone feels engineered and machine-made—clean, assertive, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its blocky curvature reads like signage, instrumentation, or classic arcade/console typography, projecting efficiency and strength rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, condensed sans that maintains clarity at display sizes while delivering a distinctly technical, systemized voice.
Distinctive rectangular counters and squared bowls give strong letter differentiation in display settings, while the condensed proportions create a high-information look. The numerals follow the same boxy logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like aesthetic across letters and figures.
