A modular sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke thickness. Curves resolve into soft, squared corners rather than true circles, giving counters a superelliptical feel. Proportions are generous and open, with broad forms and a high x-height that keeps lowercase large and clear. Terminals are blunt and uniform, and diagonals (as in V/W/Y) follow crisp, straight segments that contrast with the rounded joins. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined geometry, producing an even, grid-friendly rhythm in text.
Well suited to code-like settings, UI labels, dashboards, and other interface contexts where steady rhythm and clear shapes are important. It also works for technical documentation, instrumentation, packaging, or branding that benefits from a clean, engineered look and a controlled, modular texture.
The overall tone is functional and tech-leaning, with a subtle retro terminal/industrial flavor. Its rounded-square geometry feels engineered and systematic, reading as calm, efficient, and slightly futuristic rather than expressive or handwritten.
The design appears intended to combine a strict, grid-based structure with softened corners to keep long reading comfortable while maintaining a distinctly technical voice. Its large lowercase presence and simplified forms suggest an emphasis on legibility and consistency across dense, information-heavy layouts.
Key shapes emphasize clarity: the lowercase forms stay simple and sturdy, and rounded corners soften the mechanical structure without adding ornament. The sample text shows steady spacing and a consistent texture line to line, with distinctive angular treatments on letters like W and Y that reinforce the font’s constructed, sign-like character.
