A squared, rounded-corner sans with a strongly modular build. Strokes are even and straight-sided, with curves resolved into rounded rectangles and softened corners rather than true circles. Counters tend to be rectangular and open, giving letters a crisp, engineered rhythm; terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and joins stay tidy and orthogonal. The overall set reads compact and orderly, with consistent glyph widths and a steady, grid-like texture in text.
Well suited to interface labels, HUD-style readouts, dashboards, and technical documentation where a consistent, grid-aligned texture helps scanning. It also fits coding/terminal-like contexts and compact signage or wayfinding where crisp, squared forms and steady spacing support quick recognition.
The font conveys a technical, no-nonsense tone with a hint of retro computing and instrumentation. Its boxy curves and disciplined spacing feel systematic and machine-made, projecting clarity, control, and an industrial sensibility rather than warmth or calligraphy.
The design appears intended to provide a disciplined, screen-oriented voice with rounded-rectangle geometry that stays legible and uniform across letters and numbers. It prioritizes a consistent modular system and clear internal spaces to maintain readability in dense settings.
Distinctive superellipse-like rounds show up in characters such as O, D, and U, while diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) retain the same geometric discipline with clipped, angular transitions. Numerals follow the same squared language, keeping forms sturdy and legible with simple, functional shapes.
