A geometric sans with extended proportions and a squared–rounded construction: bowls and rounds are built from superelliptic rectangles with consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing a clean, engineered silhouette with minimal contrast. Terminals are mostly flat, and curves transition into straights with a controlled, almost modular feel. Counters are compact and often rectangular (notably in O, D, P, R), while diagonals in forms like K, V, W, X, and Y stay crisp against the rounded framework. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with open, segmented shapes that read like streamlined signage figures.
Best suited for display roles where its geometric, extended forms can define a strong visual identity—headlines, posters, tech or gaming branding, and product marks. It can also work for large UI labels or interface-style typography where a clean, engineered look is desirable, though its dense counters and heavy strokes suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is modern and machine-made, leaning into a sci‑fi/tech aesthetic. Its rounded-square geometry feels confident and utilitarian, suggesting interfaces, hardware branding, and forward-looking design rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive alphabet with a contemporary, tech-oriented voice. It prioritizes a consistent modular construction and high-impact presence, aiming for immediate recognizability in modern display settings.
The letterforms emphasize horizontality, with wide set widths and generous internal radii that keep the texture smooth even at larger sizes. Round characters appear more like capsules and rounded boxes than true circles, creating a distinctive rhythm. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy constructions that maintain the same squared curvature as the uppercase, reinforcing a consistent system across the set.
