A compact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softened corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared bowls and superelliptical counters, giving letters a structured, almost modular silhouette. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly tapered in places, and many forms lean on vertical stems with short, controlled crossbars, producing a tight, engineered rhythm. The overall color is dense and even, with counters kept relatively small and consistently shaped across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short display settings where its compact geometry can read as a deliberate style choice—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and UI or product labels that want a tech-leaning voice. It can also work for brief subheads or pull quotes, especially when generous tracking and line spacing are used to preserve clarity.
The design reads as retro-futurist and industrial, evoking sci‑fi display typography, vintage electronics, and streamlined machine signage. Its softened-square construction feels both friendly and mechanical, balancing approachability with a distinctly technical tone.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rect, superelliptical theme into a cohesive alphabet with strong visual identity. The intention favors a distinctive, systematized look over neutrality, aiming for immediate recognition in display typography.
Capitals and lowercase share a close stylistic alignment, with many letters adopting simplified, geometric constructions that emphasize repetition of the same rounded-rect forms. Figures follow the same squared, compact logic, supporting a cohesive, system-like appearance when set in text.
