A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners and consistent stroke weight. Letter construction is modular and rectilinear, favoring flat terminals, wide bowls, and open counters shaped like rounded rectangles. Curves are minimized in favor of chamfer-like joins and soft radii, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm; the uppercase reads especially structured, while the lowercase keeps the same squared logic with simplified, single-storey shapes. Numerals echo the same boxy geometry and align with the typeface’s broad, stable stance.
Best suited to display work where its modular geometry can be a feature: headlines, posters, tech or gaming branding, product marks, and packaging. It also fits UI-style graphic treatments and short bursts of copy where a futuristic tone is desired, while dense, small-size reading may benefit from more conventional text faces.
The overall tone is distinctly technological and forward-looking, with a clean, synthetic feel reminiscent of interface lettering, sci‑fi titling, and arcade-era display type. Its squared rounds and mechanical repetition give it a confident, utilitarian voice—precise rather than friendly—while the softened corners prevent it from feeling harsh.
The font appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive, contemporary alphabet with a strong tech identity. By keeping strokes even and corners consistently radiused, it prioritizes a unified system look and high-impact shapes for prominent typography.
The design relies on strong horizontals and verticals with rounded-rectangle counters, which creates clear silhouettes at display sizes and a tight, modular texture in paragraphs. Several glyphs lean into stylization (notably the angular diagonals and squared curves), reinforcing a constructed, system-like aesthetic.
