A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generous corner radii, producing superellipse-like bowls and counters. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with minimal modulation and clean, squared terminals softened by rounding. Many forms use deliberate cut-ins and horizontal notches (notably in S, 2, 3, 5, and E-like structures), giving a slightly segmented, engineered feel. Counters tend to be rectangular or pill-shaped, apertures are controlled, and diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and simplified to match the blocky rhythm. Spacing appears open enough for display use, while the strong, uniform mass makes the letterforms read as compact modules.
Well suited to display settings where a strong, engineered geometry helps a message stand out—headlines, posters, product branding, and logo wordmarks. The squared counters and consistent heft also lend themselves to on-screen contexts such as game UI, tech presentations, and interface-style graphics, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic, evoking digital interfaces, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi titling. Its softened-square geometry feels modern and functional, while the repeated notches add a subtle arcade/retro-tech attitude. The voice is confident and impact-focused rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive, high-impact alphabet with a systematic, modular rhythm. The notched and segmented strokes suggest a goal of adding character and distinctiveness without introducing ornamental flourishes, aiming for a contemporary tech voice that remains highly legible in display use.
Distinctive details include a square, inset counter in O/0, a Q with a compact diagonal tail, and an M that reads like a squared arch with a central vertical. The lowercase keeps the same modular DNA, with single-story a and g, a short, squared-shoulder r, and a wide, stable s that echoes the segmented motif. Numerals are similarly engineered, with strong horizontals and occasional breaks that enhance the technical character.
