A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with straight verticals and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes read crisp and controlled, with a slightly engineered rhythm and mostly uniform stems that occasionally taper at joins, creating subtle contrast. Counters are compact and squarish, and apertures tend toward narrow openings, giving letters a tight, modular texture. The overall proportions feel slightly condensed in places, and the design maintains consistent corner treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals for a coherent system-like look.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where a technical, modular voice is desired—interface headings, dashboard labels, wayfinding-style graphics, product packaging, and poster titling. It also works nicely for branding in electronics, tools, gaming, and sci‑fi themed projects where rounded-square geometry reinforces a contemporary, engineered feel.
The font conveys a technical, retro-futurist tone—clean, efficient, and a bit machine-made. Its squared curves and rounded terminals evoke instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling while staying approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangular geometry into a versatile sans that reads modern and systematized, balancing strict structure with softened corners for friendliness. It prioritizes consistent modular forms and clear alphanumeric presence for environments where a technical aesthetic matters as much as legibility.
Distinctive details include the squarish bowls and rounded-rectangular ‘O’ shapes, plus a ‘Q’ with a clear diagonal tail. The numerals share the same boxy, rounded geometry, supporting a unified texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
