A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with consistent stroke weight and softly radiused corners. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters a rectilinear, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. The proportions are fairly compact with open apertures and simplified, uniform terminals; diagonals are crisp and functional, and curves on characters like O, U, and W keep a tall, rounded-rect outline. Figures echo the same modular construction, with angular joins and rounded internal corners that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to interface typography, product labeling, and wayfinding where crisp, modular shapes read clearly at medium to large sizes. It also works well for headlines, posters, and tech-oriented branding systems that benefit from a distinctive, rounded-square voice.
The overall tone reads contemporary and tech-forward, with a controlled, machine-made rhythm. Its rounded-square geometry suggests digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial design—friendly enough to feel approachable, but still precise and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of rounded-rectangle grids and digital construction into a readable sans, prioritizing consistency and a recognizable geometric signature. It balances strict structure with softened corners to maintain clarity while projecting a modern, technology-led character.
Distinctive squared bowls in letters like B, D, O, and P create a strong signature, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, engineered simplicity (notably the single-storey a and the angular, open forms). The numeral set leans display-like, with stylized shapes (especially 2, 3, 5, and 7) that emphasize the font’s rectilinear logic.
