A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and soft-cornered right angles, with consistent stroke thickness and squared-off terminals. Curves are minimized and translated into superelliptic bowls, producing rectangular counters in letters like O, D, and Q, and a distinctly boxed rhythm across the alphabet. The design favors broad horizontals and generous internal spacing, keeping apertures and counters open even where strokes approach closely. Diagonals appear sparingly (notably in V, W, and Z) and are kept crisp, while joins are clean and largely orthogonal, reinforcing a modular construction.
This font is best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its wide, rounded-rect geometry can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, brand marks, titles, packaging, and tech-themed UI labels. It can also work for signage and on-screen graphics where a clean, high-structure letterform helps maintain clarity at larger sizes.
The overall tone reads futuristic and technical, with a digital display sensibility that feels engineered rather than handwritten. Its rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid geometry, giving it a sleek, controlled presence suited to contemporary sci‑fi and interface aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate modernist sans proportions into a superelliptic, modular system, prioritizing consistency of corner radii and straightened curves for a contemporary, techno-forward voice. It aims to balance a hard-edged, engineered structure with approachable softness through rounded corners and open internal spaces.
Several glyphs lean into a constructed, segmented feel—such as the stepped S, the boxed G, and the squared Q tail—creating a consistent system of forms across caps, lowercase, and numerals. In running text the wide set and prominent horizontals create a spacious, panoramic texture that emphasizes word shapes and lends a strong graphic signature.
