A crisp geometric sans with monoline strokes and a modular build. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, producing boxy bowls and smoothly radiused corners rather than true circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, and many joins read as engineered bends (notably in diagonals and V/W shapes), giving the alphabet a constructed, schematic rhythm. Counters are open and fairly large, with consistent stroke behavior across letters and numerals for a uniform, system-like texture in text.
Well suited to UI labeling, dashboards, and technical documentation where consistent character spacing and a controlled, geometric texture aid scanning. Its distinctive squared-rounded forms also work for sci‑fi or retro-tech branding accents, especially in headings, captions, and alphanumeric-heavy settings such as product codes and specs.
The overall tone feels technical and disciplined—suggesting instrumentation, terminals, and interface typography—while the softened corners add a mildly friendly, retro-digital flavor. It reads precise and functional rather than expressive or handwritten.
The design appears intended to combine the practicality of a system-oriented sans with a distinctive superelliptical geometry. By keeping strokes uniform and corners consistently radiused, it aims for clear, repeatable forms that feel engineered and contemporary, with a subtle nod to vintage digital lettering.
Distinctive forms include squared-off curves in C/G/O/Q and a stylized, angular treatment in letters like A, V, W, and Y that emphasizes a bent-tube aesthetic. Figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric strings look cohesive.
