A geometric sans with a pronounced rounded-rectangle construction: corners are heavily radiused, bowls are squarish, and curves resolve into smooth superellipse-like shapes. Strokes stay essentially even, producing a solid, engineered texture with minimal contrast. Apertures tend to be tight and counters are generously open but squared off, giving letters a compact, modular feel. Terminals are mostly flat or softly rounded, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are crisp and angular against the otherwise rounded framework.
Best suited for display sizes where its rounded-square geometry and dense texture can read clearly—headlines, branding, logos, posters, and product packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone feels modern and machine-made—clean, confident, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its softened corners keep it approachable while the squared geometry reads technical and performance-oriented, suited to digital interfaces and branded systems.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, grid-friendly geometry into a usable alphabet, prioritizing visual consistency, impact, and a contemporary tech aesthetic over traditional text-type nuance.
Uppercase forms present a strong, uniform rhythm with prominent rounded corners, while lowercase remains simplified and geometric, maintaining the same squared-counter logic. Numerals match the alphabet’s rounded-rect silhouette, supporting cohesive headline and display use.
