A compact geometric sans with a squared skeleton softened by generous corner rounding, giving many letters a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) silhouette. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely monoline, with minimal modulation and clean, flat terminals. Counters tend to be rectangular with rounded corners, and the overall rhythm is tight, with condensed proportions and short, sturdy joins that keep shapes rigid and engineered. Numerals and capitals share the same boxy construction, producing a cohesive, grid-like texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where its compact width and strong geometric voice can lead: headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and product titling. It also fits UI-style graphics, signage, and labels where a sturdy, engineered look is desired, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The font reads as modern and tech-forward, with a controlled, mechanical tone. Its rounded-square geometry suggests digital interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and industrial labeling while still feeling approachable due to the softened corners. The heavy, compact forms convey strength and certainty rather than delicacy.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, emphasizing compactness, consistency, and high visual impact. Its disciplined construction prioritizes a futuristic, industrial aesthetic with a friendly edge from the softened corners.
Distinctive rounded-rect counters and squared curves unify both uppercase and lowercase, creating a consistent modular feel. The narrow set width and heavy strokes make whitespace management (counters and apertures) a key part of its legibility, especially at smaller sizes where interior space can tighten.
