A compact, geometric sans with a squared, superelliptical construction and consistently rounded outer and inner corners. Strokes are uniform and the letterforms keep a tight, disciplined rhythm, with many curves resolved as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and softly radiused, counters are boxy, and diagonals (as in A, V, W, X) are simplified and steady. The overall texture is even and grid-friendly, with clear, schematic numerals and straightforward punctuation behavior in the sample text.
Well suited to interface labeling, console or terminal styling, and any setting that benefits from consistent character widths such as tables, specs, and diagrams. It also works for compact headings, wayfinding-style text blocks, and retro-tech themed branding where a controlled, grid-based voice is desired.
The tone is technical and functional, evoking labeling, instrumentation, and retro digital hardware. Its rounded-square geometry softens the engineering feel, giving it an approachable, controlled character rather than a sharp industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a pragmatic, system-like reading experience with a distinctive rounded-square geometry, prioritizing consistency and predictable rhythm for structured layouts and technical contexts.
Distinctive rounded-rectangular bowls and counters create a recognizable silhouette at both the glyph grid and paragraph setting. The narrow proportions and consistent widths reinforce a measured cadence, especially in all-caps lines and mixed-case pangrams where spacing reads deliberate and systematic.
