A squared sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like geometry, with consistent stroke weight and boxy proportions. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circular bowls, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, with occasional cut-ins and notches that create slightly stencil-like joins in a few shapes. Numerals and capitals read crisply, and the overall rhythm is steady and grid-friendly with clear, even spacing.
Well-suited to interface labeling, dashboards, and technical documentation where a structured, grid-aligned texture is helpful. It also works for headings in posters or packaging that want a retro-tech or industrial flavor without becoming overly decorative.
The tone is pragmatic and technical, leaning toward a retro digital/terminal atmosphere. Its rounded-square construction adds a friendly softness to an otherwise industrial voice, making it feel modernist, efficient, and quietly distinctive rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, modular construction into a practical text face: highly consistent, compact, and optimized for clear recognition in tightly set lines while retaining a distinctive squared softness.
Several glyphs show distinctive inner cut shapes and squared counters, reinforcing the modular, device-oriented aesthetic. The punctuation and figures share the same rounded-rect logic, helping mixed text maintain a consistent texture in paragraphs and UI-like strings.
