A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, with mostly uniform stroke weight and crisp, squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding. Counters tend to be squarish and compact, and curves are handled with short radii rather than continuous circles, giving letters a constructed, modular feel. Proportions are tall with relatively narrow apertures, and the overall rhythm is steady and blocklike, with occasional angular joins in diagonals and a slightly condensed impression in many glyphs.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage where its boxy geometry can read clearly and set a strong tone. It can also work for UI accents, tech-themed graphics, and short blocks of text when generous size and spacing are available.
The design reads as technical and futuristic, with a retro-digital flavor reminiscent of instrumentation, sci‑fi titling, and industrial labeling. Its squared geometry and rounded corners balance severity with approachability, creating a confident, engineered tone rather than a humanist one.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a rounded-rectangular, engineered aesthetic—prioritizing consistent geometry, compact counters, and a modular silhouette that feels at home in contemporary tech and retro-futurist contexts.
Distinctive square counters and rounded-rectangular bowls dominate the texture, which stays dense and high-contrast against the background due to the heavy strokes and small internal openings. Numerals and capitals appear especially sign-like, and the overall styling favors constructed forms over calligraphic modulation.
