A crisp, geometric sans with squared proportions and consistently rounded corners, giving many glyphs a soft-rectangular construction. Strokes stay uniform and clean, with straight horizontals/verticals contrasted by controlled diagonals (notably in A, K, V, W, X, Y). Curves are often translated into squarish bowls and counters (O, Q, 0, 8), and terminals tend to end bluntly rather than taper. Spacing feels engineered and even, while several letters lean on simplified, modular forms (e.g., E/F with long arms, boxy C/G/S), producing a tidy, grid-friendly texture in text.
Well-suited for UI and product surfaces, dashboards, wayfinding, and technical or industrial branding where a clean, engineered rhythm is desirable. It also works effectively for short headlines and display copy that benefit from a futuristic, geometric voice, especially in spacious layouts.
The overall tone reads modern and system-like, with a subtle sci‑fi/tech flavor reminiscent of interface lettering and industrial labeling. Rounded corners soften the otherwise strict geometry, keeping the voice precise but approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to translate classic sans structures into a modular, rounded-rectangle geometry that feels contemporary and technology-adjacent. It prioritizes consistency, clean construction, and a distinctive squared-curved hybrid silhouette for clear identification in display and interface contexts.
Legibility is strongest at medium and larger sizes where the squared counters and open apertures remain distinct; at smaller sizes, some characters with similar rectangular bowls (O/0, D/O, 8/0) may require careful context. Numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, reinforcing a cohesive, device-oriented feel across alphanumerics.
