A compact geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms and straight, vertical stress. Corners are consistently softened, with bowl shapes reading as squared ovals and counters kept relatively tight. Strokes are heavy and even, terminals are mostly flat or gently rounded, and curves transition into stems with a crisp, engineered feel. Several characters use simplified, modular constructions (notably in the numerals and some lowercase forms), reinforcing a systematic, grid-friendly rhythm.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and logo or wordmark work where a modern, engineered texture is desirable. It also fits UI titles, product naming, and packaging that aims for a tech-forward or industrial aesthetic, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes for clarity.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, with an industrial, machine-made calm. Its squared curves and disciplined spacing suggest interfaces, instrumentation, and contemporary tech branding rather than casual or literary settings.
The design appears intended to translate a superellipse geometry into a practical, readable sans that feels contemporary and systematized. It balances strong presence with controlled, modular letterforms to deliver a distinctive techno voice while remaining usable for short text and interface-style labeling.
Distinctive shapes in the figures and select letters add personality without introducing ornament, but the compact apertures and squared bowls make it feel most confident at display sizes or in short, high-contrast settings. The set maintains a consistent rectangle-based geometry across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, supporting a cohesive visual voice.
