This typeface is built from broad, even strokes with a squared-round (superelliptic) construction that favors rounded rectangles over true circles. Corners are consistently softened, and curves transition into flats with a controlled, engineered feel, producing compact, boxy counters in letters like O, D, P, and R. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and planar, and terminals are generally blunt, emphasizing a solid, machined rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the same geometry with a notably large x-height and simple, single-storey forms, keeping texture dense and highly uniform at display sizes.
Best suited for bold, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, logos, product branding, and on-screen interface graphics where a geometric, engineered voice is desirable. It can also work for short labels and signage, especially when you want compact, uniform word shapes and a distinctly modern tone.
The overall tone feels contemporary and tech-forward, with a slightly sci‑fi, interface-like flavor. Its wide stance and squared-round bowls read as sturdy and utilitarian, conveying confidence and a streamlined, modern sensibility rather than softness or calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined geometric sans with rounded-rectangular forms for a modern, technical aesthetic. It prioritizes consistent stroke weight, sturdy shapes, and high visual presence, aiming for clarity and brandable character in display and UI-forward contexts.
Round characters (0/8/9 and O/Q) keep a rectangular skeleton, which makes the numerals and caps feel cohesive with the rest of the set. The sample text shows a strong, blocky word shape and consistent color, with the most distinctive character coming from the rounded-rectangle bowls and the clean, uncluttered joins.
