A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and a consistent heavy stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared, softened corners, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel; many letters read as built from straight segments with controlled radii. Proportions are broad and stable, with a tall x-height, short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and firmly horizontal terminals. The uppercase set feels particularly architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same rigid geometry with simplified joins and compact apertures; numerals echo the same squared, rounded rhythm.
Best suited for display applications where its blocky, rounded geometry can read as a deliberate style choice—headlines, branding, product marks, and packaging. It also works well for short UI labels, dashboards, and in-game overlays where a sturdy, high-contrast silhouette helps recognition at medium sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered, combining a clean, utilitarian voice with a distinctly sci‑fi edge. Its rounded-square geometry feels modern, confident, and performance-oriented, suggesting technology, transport, and digital interfaces rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modular sans built from rounded rectangles, emphasizing uniformity, strength, and a sleek, technical character. It prioritizes a cohesive geometric system across letters and numerals to create a recognizable, futuristic texture in large-format typography.
Distinctive features include the squared, rounded O/Q forms, the boxy bowls in B/P/R, and the strong, flattened curves in S and 2/3. The shapes favor closed or narrow apertures and sturdy internal counters, which increases impact at display sizes but can make small text feel dense in long passages.
