A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) contours with uniform stroke thickness and broadly squared counters. Corners are consistently softened, giving the shapes a pill/boxy footprint while maintaining crisp, straight terminals and a machined rhythm. Proportions skew wide and sturdy in many capitals, with compact apertures and simplified joins; diagonals (e.g., K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and angular, contrasting with the rounded bowls. The figures follow the same squared-round logic, with a notably rectilinear “0” and stepped, linear construction in “2–7,” producing a cohesive, system-like texture in blocks of text.
Best suited to logos, titles, packaging, and tech-forward poster work where the squared-round geometry can be a primary visual motif. It can also work for UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style signage at sizes where its compact apertures and blocky counters remain clear.
The overall tone is contemporary and technical, suggesting interfaces, hardware, and sci‑fi branding. Its squared rounding and restrained detail feel engineered and utilitarian rather than friendly or calligraphic, projecting a confident, synthetic modernism.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, engineered look using a consistent rounded-rectangular skeleton that stays uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Its simplified structures and strong silhouette prioritize immediacy and brandable shapes over traditional text nuance.
The design language favors closed, rectangular counters (notably in O/0 and several lowercase forms), and the spacing reads tight and efficient, creating a dense, sign-like color at display sizes. Lowercase forms keep the same modular geometry, with single-storey constructions and minimal contrast, reinforcing a consistent, grid-based personality.
