A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters like O, C, and U a superellipse feel rather than true circles. Terminals are consistently rounded and corners are smoothly radiused, while counters stay narrow and vertical. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is upright and steady, with simplified forms that keep contrast low and silhouettes clean.
Best suited for display use where a narrow footprint and strong vertical presence are helpful—posters, headlines, packaging, and signage. It can also work for branding in contexts that want a clean, engineered voice. For extended reading, the tight, condensed texture is more effective at larger sizes or with generous leading.
The font conveys a streamlined, retro-modern tone—equal parts industrial signage and mid‑century display. Its narrow proportions and rounded-rect geometry feel efficient and engineered, while the soft corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result reads as technical and minimal, with a subtle vintage sci‑fi flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving sans with a unified rounded-rect construction. By combining strict, vertical proportions with softened corners, it aims to feel modern and functional while retaining a distinctive retro display character.
Round letters are noticeably squarer than typical grotesks, and many joins favor straight stems with gentle rounding instead of swelling curves. The punctuation and numerals follow the same tall, compact logic, maintaining a consistent modular look across the set. In longer text, the condensed width creates a strong vertical texture and a distinctive, slightly mechanical word shape.
