A geometric, rounded-rectangle sans with a strongly modular construction and a consistent, monoline stroke. Curves are resolved into superelliptical bowls and squared counters, producing boxy silhouettes with soft corners. Proportions are roomy and uniform, with steady sidebearings and an even rhythm that reads as grid-aligned. The lowercase maintains compact apertures and simplified joins, while numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-square logic for a highly consistent texture.
Best suited to display contexts where its squared-rounded geometry and strong consistency can carry a visual identity—headlines, posters, packaging, and logotype work. It also fits UI labels and on-screen interface elements where a compact, grid-friendly rhythm and distinctive letterforms help maintain clarity at small-to-medium sizes.
The overall tone is distinctly digital and engineered, evoking display systems, terminals, and interface typography. Its soft-cornered geometry feels approachable but still mechanical, balancing retro sci‑fi cues with contemporary UI clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, interface-oriented look through rounded-rectangle construction and strict geometric consistency. By simplifying curves into superelliptical shapes and keeping stroke behavior uniform, it aims for a clean, programmable aesthetic that stays legible while remaining characterful.
Round counters tend toward rectangular forms (notably in O/0-like shapes), and diagonals (V/W/X) are crisp and planar against the otherwise rounded system. The design favors clear, schematic shapes over calligraphic modulation, giving it a deliberately synthetic voice.
