A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms, with heavy, even stroke weight and broad proportions. Corners are consistently radiused, giving bowls and stems a soft, molded look while keeping the overall silhouette blocky. Counters are small and often rectangular, with horizontal apertures in letters like e and a; terminals are mostly flat and squared-off rather than tapered. Diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) feel engineered and chunky, while curves (O, C, G, Q) read as squarish rounds with uniform curvature and tight interior space.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky geometry and tight counters can read crisply—display headlines, punchy branding, packaging, event graphics, and game/tech UI accents. It can work for short bursts of text, but the dense interiors and strong rhythm favor titles, labels, and signage over long-form reading.
The tone is modern and synthetic, reminiscent of sci‑fi interfaces and industrial branding. Rounded corners add friendliness, but the dense counters and wide stance keep it assertive and mechanical, creating a confident, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to merge soft, rounded corners with a robust, engineered structure, producing a display sans that feels both approachable and high-tech. Its consistent superelliptic logic and compact counters aim for strong silhouettes, quick recognition, and a cohesive sci‑fi/industrial aesthetic across letters and numerals.
Distinctive constructions include a single-storey a with a horizontal inner bar, an e formed with a strong mid-bar and narrow opening, and a Q with a clear interior notch/short tail detail. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, with 0 and 8 built from compact stacked counters and 1 as a simple vertical stroke.
