A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with uniform stroke weight and neatly squared terminals softened by consistent corner radiusing. Curves resolve into boxy bowls and counters, giving round letters a compact, squarish footprint, while straight-sided characters stay crisp and vertical. Proportions are tidy and fairly tall, with compact apertures and counters that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals and uppercase share the same modular construction, producing an even, engineered rhythm across lines of text.
Well-suited to UI labels, dashboards, and product interfaces where a technical, geometric voice is desired, as well as wayfinding and environmental signage. It also performs strongly in headlines, posters, and identity systems that want a clean industrial tone and a distinctive rounded-square flavor.
The overall tone is technical and no-nonsense, with a retro-futurist edge that recalls labeling, interfaces, and industrial typography. Its rounded-square geometry adds approachability without losing a precise, engineered feel.
Likely designed to deliver a modern geometric sans with a superelliptic, rounded-rectangle construction that feels engineered and consistent. The emphasis on modular shapes suggests an intention to communicate precision and contemporary functionality while maintaining a recognizable, slightly retro tech personality.
The design emphasizes consistent corner rounding and rectangular bowls, creating strong patterning in repeated text and a distinctive silhouette in capitals. The simplified, modular shapes give it a systematic look that favors clarity and uniformity over calligraphic nuance.
