This typeface uses a squared, geometric skeleton with generously rounded corners, producing a soft-rectangular silhouette throughout. Strokes show clear contrast, with thicker verticals and finer joins and horizontals, giving letters a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are mostly squared with subtle flare or hook-like shaping on some curves, and bowls/counters tend toward rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. Proportions are open and somewhat expansive, with steady spacing and a consistent, modular feel across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
It works best for display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and product packaging where its squared curves and contrast can read as intentional style. It can also suit interface or on-screen display moments (labels, menus, dashboard-style graphics) when a techno or retro-tech voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone reads as technological and retro-futuristic, combining machine-made precision with slightly playful, curved hooks and softened corners. It suggests instrument panels, sci‑fi titling, and late-20th-century techno graphic design rather than a neutral everyday sans.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans structure with a distinctive, constructed geometry: rounded-square curves, controlled contrast, and stylized terminals that create a recognizable voice. The goal seems to be a contemporary display sans with a retro-tech flavor that remains systematic and consistent across the set.
Distinctive curved entry/exit strokes appear in letters like J, S, and y, adding character without becoming script-like. Several glyphs emphasize squared bowls and counters (notably in O/o and 0), reinforcing an interface-like, constructed aesthetic while keeping forms relatively legible in text samples.
