A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with consistently even stroke thickness and softly radiused terminals. Curves are squarish rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a capsule-like geometry (notably in O, C, D, and e). Many joins resolve into smooth, engineered transitions; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and straight, while horizontals and verticals keep a stable, monoline rhythm. Counters are generally open and generous, and the overall spacing feels airy, emphasizing the font’s horizontal, streamlined presence in text.
Works best in display contexts where its wide, rounded-rect geometry can read as a design feature—such as tech branding, product titles, packaging, and posters. It also suits short UI labels, dashboards, and environmental graphics where a clean, modern, engineered look is desired and ample horizontal space is available.
The tone is contemporary and techno-forward, evoking interface typography, aerospace/industrial design, and sci‑fi titling. Its rounded corners and uniform strokes keep it approachable and polished, while the squarish curves and wide stance add a cool, engineered attitude.
The design appears intended to translate superellipse/rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for contemporary visual systems, balancing a futuristic silhouette with steady, even stroke behavior. It prioritizes a sleek, modular rhythm that remains consistent from capitals to numerals and into running sample text.
Distinctive details include the rounded-square construction across both uppercase and lowercase, plus simplified, schematic-like numerals that echo the same capsule geometry. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between forms (e.g., single-storey a, open c, compact r), supporting a consistent modular feel in longer settings.
