A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry with generous corner radii and mostly uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptical corners rather than true circles, creating boxy counters and rectangular bowls. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared off, with occasional angled joins (notably in diagonals) that keep forms crisp. Spacing and rhythm feel engineered and modular, producing strong, even texture in lines of text while retaining some width variation across letters.
Best suited to display settings where a strong, technical personality is desired—headlines, branding marks, product packaging, esports/gaming graphics, and interface or HUD-style labeling. It can work for short text blocks when ample size and tracking preserve clarity of the tighter apertures and squared counters.
The overall tone is modern and machine-made, with a distinctly digital, sci‑fi flavor. Its squared rounds and compact apertures evoke interfaces, hardware labeling, and arcade/gaming aesthetics rather than literary or humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rect forms into a coherent alphabet that reads cleanly while signaling a contemporary, engineered aesthetic. It prioritizes a bold silhouette, modular consistency, and a distinctly digital voice for impactful titles and identity work.
Many glyphs emphasize open, squared counters and simplified joins, giving the design a slightly stencil-like, constructed feel. Diagonal characters use firm, straight strokes with controlled rounding at transitions, reinforcing a consistent, grid-minded voice.
