A compact geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently squared curves. Strokes are uniform and the corners are softly radiused, producing superelliptical bowls and counters rather than true circles. Terminals tend to be flat and horizontal/vertical, giving the design a modular, engineered rhythm; diagonals appear primarily in K, V, W, X, Y, and Z, where they stay clean and straight. The lowercase is simple and functional, with single-storey forms and minimal detail, and the numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product/tech branding where a clean, structured look is desired. It also works well for headlines, short paragraphs, signage, and packaging that benefit from a compact footprint and a strong geometric identity.
The overall tone feels technical and futuristic, with a slight arcade or sci‑fi interface flavor. Its squared-round shapes read as contemporary and machine-made rather than humanist, creating a confident, utilitarian voice that still feels friendly due to the softened corners.
The letterforms suggest an intention to blend functional clarity with a stylized, rounded-rect geometry reminiscent of display panels and digital systems. The consistent stroke and softened corners aim to keep the design sturdy and readable while projecting a modern, tech-forward personality.
The design emphasizes legibility through open apertures and clear silhouettes, but its distinctive rounded-square bowls and compact proportions make it more characterful than a neutral UI sans. The mix of strict vertical/horizontal structure with occasional sharp diagonals creates a crisp, grid-like cadence in text.
