A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners and even stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared-off terminals, creating boxy counters and superelliptical bowls that feel machined and modular. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, wide shoulders, and minimal contrast, producing a stable, block-like texture in lines of text. The punctuation and numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, keeping the overall rhythm uniform and structured.
Best suited to display typography where its modular rounded-square construction can be appreciated—headlines, logotypes, posters, product packaging, and interface labels. It performs well for short bursts of text in tech-forward or industrial contexts, and for titling where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The design reads as futuristic and engineered, with a distinct retro-tech flavor reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, and industrial interface lettering. Its rounded corners temper the mass, adding approachability while preserving a confident, utilitarian presence.
The letterforms appear intended to merge squared construction with softened edges, delivering a strong, contemporary silhouette that feels both mechanical and friendly. The consistent stroke system and rounded-rectangle geometry suggest a focus on cohesion and recognizability across caps, lowercase, and numerals for bold, graphic communication.
Several glyphs emphasize squared apertures and closed, rounded counters, which strengthens the “hardware” feel but can reduce differentiation at small sizes. In display settings the consistent geometry becomes a strong visual signature, especially in all-caps headlines and short labels.
