A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, giving most letters a clean, rectilinear silhouette with softened corners. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with minimal contrast and a sturdy, blocky rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into flat terminals and squared apertures (notably in C, S, and G), while diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y are sharply cut and tightly integrated. Lowercase forms keep compact, simplified constructions with short ascenders/descenders, and figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive, system-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, wordmarks, and short bursts of text where its geometric, squared-round construction can define a strong identity. It can work well for tech and gaming interfaces, packaging, and signage-style applications, especially when a bold, engineered look is desired.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a streamlined, display-forward presence that reads as tech, sci‑fi, and hardware-adjacent. Its squared curves and dense weight convey strength and precision more than warmth, creating an assertive, contemporary voice.
The letterforms suggest an intention to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with clear, simplified structures for a contemporary, digital-friendly aesthetic. The consistent, modular curves and flat terminals point to a design optimized for impactful display use and brand recognition.
The design maintains strong stylistic consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals through repeated rounded-rectangle counters and flat-ended strokes. The wide stance and tight internal shapes make it feel especially at home at larger sizes where the geometric details and squared curves can be appreciated.
