A sturdy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle curves and consistently heavy strokes. The design emphasizes straight sides, squared shoulders, and softened corners, producing a uniform, grid-friendly rhythm. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, while joins stay clean and blunt with minimal modulation. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with simple, open forms and a single-storey “g”; the punctuation and numerals match the same squared-off, engineered feel.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and technical documentation where a steady, grid-aligned texture is desirable. It also works for bold packaging labels, equipment marking, and retro-computing themed graphics where an engineered, utilitarian voice helps typography feel purposeful.
The overall tone is pragmatic and machine-like, evoking labeling, terminals, and industrial signage. Its blunt geometry and rounded corners create a no-nonsense voice that still feels approachable rather than sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, system-like sans that stays consistent on a strict character grid while retaining friendly rounded corners. Its superelliptical construction and uniform stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on repeatable geometry and strong legibility in compact, information-dense settings.
Round elements are visibly “squared” into softened rectangles, giving counters and bowls a boxed appearance. Diagonals (such as in A, K, V, W, X, and Y) are strong and angular, and the figures are built with the same blocky construction, supporting consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
