A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, mixing soft corners with crisp, straight segments. Strokes are generally thin with localized thickening at joins and terminals, creating a subtle high-contrast, ink-trap-like rhythm in corners and tight counters. Many letters use squared bowls and open apertures, with flattened curves and straight-sided arcs that keep the texture taut and architectural. Spacing reads slightly irregular by design, with some glyphs feeling narrower or wider, contributing to a deliberately varied, modular cadence in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and short UI or product-display text where its geometric construction and corner detailing can be appreciated. It also fits tech branding, sci‑fi or retro-futurist themes, and packaging that benefits from a clean but distinctive voice. For long-form reading, its sharp rhythm and unconventional corner behavior are more effective as accent typography than as a primary text face.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and engineered signage. Rounded corners soften the geometry, keeping it approachable while still feeling precise and schematic. The distinctive corner detailing adds a lightly experimental, retro-modern flavor reminiscent of display typography from tech and industrial contexts.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rect geometry into a clean sans while adding functional-looking corner modulation for identity. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a modern, engineered texture, aiming for strong recognition in display settings rather than neutrality.
Capitals show strong poster-like silhouettes with squared bowls and prominent horizontals, while lowercase maintains the same superelliptical logic with compact, boxy curves. Numerals and several letters feature pronounced interior corner shaping that reads as functional detailing rather than ornament, increasing character at larger sizes.
