A compact, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like curves, with blunt terminals and consistently squared counters. Strokes are heavy and even, producing a sturdy silhouette with minimal modulation and tight internal apertures in letters like a, e, and s. Corners are softened rather than fully round, creating a crisp, machined rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel straight and stable while rounded forms (O, Q, 0, 8) read as squarish ovals. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with segmented joins and clear, rectilinear interior shapes.
Works well for headlines, branding marks, and short emphatic text where its squared-rounded geometry can carry a strong identity. It also suits UI labels, dashboards, and product graphics that benefit from a structured, engineered look. For longer paragraphs, it will be most effective with generous spacing and sizes that keep the tight apertures from closing in.
The overall tone is technical and engineered—more device-interface than editorial—suggesting a contemporary, industrial sensibility. Its squared curves and firm weight give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that leans toward sci‑fi and hardware aesthetics rather than friendly casualness.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, machine-made aesthetic using a consistent rounded-rect geometry, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a disciplined, modular rhythm. It aims to communicate technical clarity and contemporary edge while maintaining clean, sans-serif simplicity.
The design emphasizes a modular construction: wide shoulders and squared bowls keep lines uniform, while the slightly condensed feel and tight counters increase density in text. The lowercase set reads deliberately simple and schematic, and the uppercase maintains strong presence at display sizes; small sizes may feel darker due to the narrow openings.
