A compact, geometric sans with a distinctly rounded-rectangle construction across bowls and counters. Strokes are even and crisp, with squared-off terminals softened by consistent corner rounding, creating a superellipse rhythm rather than true circular forms. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and modular, while the lowercase keeps simple, open structures; the single-storey forms (notably a and g) reinforce a straightforward, engineered feel. Figures are clear and sturdy, with the slashed zero and other simplified numerals matching the same rounded-box geometry. Overall spacing and alignment feel systematic, supporting a grid-like, typographic regularity in running text.
Well-suited to interface text, developer-facing screens, terminal-like layouts, and any context where alignment and character-by-character clarity matter. It also performs well in tables, dashboards, captions, and compact technical documentation where a stable, uniform rhythm improves scanning.
The tone reads practical and technology-leaning, with a subtle retro-computing and industrial sensibility. Rounded corners keep it approachable, while the squared geometry and restrained detailing maintain a disciplined, no-nonsense voice.
The letterforms suggest an intention to balance strict, system-like geometry with softened corners for comfort in extended viewing. The emphasis appears to be on functional legibility, clear character differentiation, and a cohesive, grid-friendly texture for technical and informational typography.
The design favors clarity through simplified forms and generous apertures, producing a steady texture in paragraphs. The consistent corner treatment ties together curves, diagonals, and horizontals, giving the set a cohesive, modular look.
