A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like forms with consistently rounded corners and a heavy, uniform stroke. Curves are minimized in favor of rounded rectangles, producing boxy counters (notably in O, D, P, and 0/8) and crisp terminals. The rhythm is steady and engineered, with tight apertures and firm horizontals; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) are clean and sturdy without calligraphic modulation. Lowercase follows the same modular logic, using single-storey a and g and a compact, squared bowl construction throughout.
Best suited to display roles where its compact, high-impact shapes stay legible at larger sizes—such as headlines, product branding, posters, and packaging. It can also work for UI labels, dashboards, or wayfinding-style graphics when a technical, structured voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and forward-looking, with a device-interface clarity and a slightly sci‑fi edge. Its squared rounds and dense presence read as efficient, robust, and modern rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive alphabet that feels engineered and contemporary. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent corner radii, and an unmistakably modern, system-like structure for high-visibility communication.
Distinctive details include the rectangular, inset-style counters and the squared-off C/S forms with rounded corners, which reinforce a systematic, grid-built aesthetic. Numerals are especially signage-like, with a strong, blocky silhouette and minimal flourish.
