A compact geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with tight apertures and a generally closed, engineered feel. Corners are softened rather than sharp, and many joins resolve into straight segments with controlled curves, giving letters a modular, machined rhythm. Proportions are condensed with short extenders, while select glyphs introduce angular cuts (notably in diagonals and terminals) that add a slightly technical edge.
Best suited to short headlines, brand marks, and punchy display settings where a compact, high-impact word shape is desired. It can also work for UI labels, signage, and packaging callouts when used at comfortable sizes and with sufficient tracking to keep the tight apertures from clogging.
The overall tone reads futuristic and functional, reminiscent of sci-fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and arcade-era display lettering. Its squared curves and dense presence convey firmness and precision more than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, space-efficient, tech-forward voice using rounded-rect geometry and consistent stroke weight. It prioritizes bold legibility and a distinctive, modular silhouette over traditional text comfort.
Round letters like O/C/G emphasize rounded-rectangle construction, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) lean on crisp, beveled shapes that contrast with the softened bowls. Counters are relatively small at text sizes, and the overall spacing feels compact, reinforcing a strong, graphic silhouette.
