A geometric, rounded-rect sans built from straight strokes and tight-radius corners, producing superellipse-like bowls and terminals. Vertical stems are consistently firm while horizontals are thinner, creating a crisp, engineered contrast that reads cleanly at display sizes. Counters are boxy and compact, joins are mostly hard-angled with occasional small ink-trap notches, and several characters use simplified, modular construction that emphasizes a grid-like rhythm. Proportions are condensed with tall ascenders and compact apertures, giving lines a sleek, space-efficient texture.
Best suited for headlines, logotypes, and branding systems that want a modern, engineered personality. It also works well for interface-style display text such as product dashboards, game titles, tech posters, and packaging where geometric consistency and a compact footprint are priorities.
The overall tone is futuristic and instrumental—more machine interface than editorial. Its squared curves and precise geometry evoke digital signage, aerospace dashboards, and retro-future computing, balancing a cool technical feel with softened corners that keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle module into a complete alphabet, prioritizing structural consistency, compact spacing, and a distinctly techno character. Its controlled contrast and simplified curves suggest a focus on display clarity and a recognizable, system-like voice.
Distinctive, stylized forms (including angular diagonals and squared bowls) make the alphabet feel custom-built, with a deliberate departure from conventional humanist detailing. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, and the punctuation shown stays minimal and clean, supporting a utilitarian, UI-like voice.
