A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like contours, with smooth corner radii and generally straight, vertical/horizontal strokes. Curves are squared-off rather than circular, producing boxy bowls in letters like O, D, and Q, and a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set. Terminals are mostly flat with occasional angled cuts (notably in diagonals), and counters tend to be compact, giving the face a dense, signage-like color. The lowercase uses single-storey forms (a, g) and maintains a sturdy, modular feel, while numerals follow the same rounded-square construction with open, angular shaping in 2 and 7 and a rectangular 0.
Works best for display settings where a strong geometric voice is desirable: headlines, brand marks, product packaging, posters, and tech-forward editorial accents. It also suits UI-style labeling and dashboards when used at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing to preserve clarity in the tighter counters.
The overall tone feels contemporary and machine-made, leaning toward sci‑fi interfaces and industrial branding. Its rounded-square geometry reads confident and technical, with a sporty edge that suggests speed, devices, and modern equipment rather than softness or tradition.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, engineered aesthetic using rounded-square forms and crisp terminals, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette and consistent modular geometry for contemporary display typography.
The design emphasizes consistency of corner rounding and squarish curvature, which helps it stay coherent at larger sizes and in short labels. Narrower apertures and tightly proportioned counters can make long paragraphs feel compact, but they also reinforce a strong, graphic silhouette for headings and UI-style text.
