A geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle construction, with consistently rounded corners and monoline strokes. Counters tend to be rectangular/superelliptical rather than circular, giving O/C/G and the numerals a boxed, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and crisp, reinforcing a modular rhythm. The lowercase keeps a clean, contemporary structure with single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and generally tight, efficient proportions suited to headline sizing.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and logo/wordmark work where its squared-round geometry can be a defining visual element. It also fits product packaging, wayfinding, and on-screen interface or dashboard-style graphics, especially in tech, gaming, automotive, or sports contexts. For long passages of small text, its display-oriented shapes may be more impactful than strictly neutral.
The overall tone is modern and technical, evoking digital interfaces, equipment labeling, and contemporary sports or tech branding. Its squared-round geometry reads confident and systematic rather than friendly or calligraphic, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of display typography used in sci‑fi and industrial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, systematized sans with a superelliptical construction—combining the efficiency of straight strokes with softened corners for a distinctive, screen-and-signage-friendly presence. It prioritizes a cohesive geometric voice and recognizable silhouette over traditional humanist modulation.
The design leans on squarish apertures and rounded inner corners to maintain a consistent ‘softened mechanical’ motif across letters and figures. Forms like Q, J, and the two/three show distinctive, stylized joins and cuts that emphasize the font’s engineered personality and help it stand apart from more neutral grotesques.
