A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with generously radiused corners and largely uniform stroke thickness. Bowls and counters tend toward squarish ovals, giving letters like O, D, P, and Q a compact, boxed feel. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with occasional curved hooks on letters such as J and y that add rhythm without breaking the overall modular construction. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g and a compact, engineered texture; figures are similarly blocky with softened corners for a cohesive, UI-like silhouette.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, branding, packaging, and UI titles where its rounded-rect geometry can define a visual identity. It also works well for short bursts of text in game interfaces, product names, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, techno-forward look.
The overall tone reads modern and techno, balancing friendly rounded edges with a disciplined, machine-made structure. It feels suited to digital interfaces and sci‑fi/arcade aesthetics rather than editorial neutrality, projecting a confident, engineered voice.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-square construction with approachable softness, creating a contemporary techno sans that remains readable and highly recognizable in large sizes.
Wide apertures on characters like C, c, and S keep shapes open despite the squarish geometry, aiding clarity at display sizes. Distinctive curved joins in M/W and the hooked descenders on J/y introduce recognizable character while maintaining consistent rounding throughout.
