A condensed, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and straight, monoline strokes. Curves are minimized and corners are consistently softened, producing superelliptic bowls and squared-off terminals. Counters tend to be tall and narrow, with a compact aperture strategy that keeps shapes clean and dense. The overall rhythm is vertical and columnar, with simplified construction in letters like M/W and a distinctive, angular-meets-rounded treatment across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines and short display lines where its condensed width and strong black shapes can create impact without needing large horizontal space. It also works well for signage, labels, packaging, and logotypes that benefit from a technical, geometric voice. In longer text blocks it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing due to its dense internal spacing.
The tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of stenciled labels, machinery plates, and mid-century display typography. Its tight proportions and modular geometry read as efficient, technical, and slightly theatrical at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-saving display sans with a consistent rounded-rect geometry, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a uniform stroke system. The construction suggests a focus on modularity and repeatable shapes for a cohesive, industrial-leaning aesthetic across letters and numerals.
Round letters such as O/Q take on a rounded-rectangle silhouette, and the Q’s tail is integrated as a vertical extension rather than a sweeping stroke. Numerals follow the same compact, squared curvature, supporting a cohesive system for display settings where strong silhouette recognition matters.
