A geometric, box-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared counters. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with corners frequently softened into small radii rather than true circles. Many glyphs use open apertures and clipped terminals, creating a modular, almost stencil-like rhythm; curves are implied through superelliptic corners and straight segments. Proportions are compact and upright, with broad, stable capitals and straightforward lowercase forms that retain the same squared, engineered logic. Numerals follow the same rectangular system, emphasizing right angles and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited for display settings where a strong geometric signature is desirable: headlines, brand marks, product packaging, titles, and short UI labels. It can also work for signage or wayfinding that benefits from a squared, engineered look, especially at medium to large sizes where the modular detailing stays clear.
The overall tone is technical and machine-made, evoking interfaces, hardware labeling, and retro digital signage. Its blocky, rounded geometry reads assertive and functional, with a mildly futuristic, game-like edge.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle grid into a readable alphabet, prioritizing a consistent modular system and a contemporary technical feel. It emphasizes impact and identity over neutrality, using clipped terminals and square counters to reinforce a constructed, digital-forward aesthetic.
Distinctive rectangular counters in letters like O, D, and P strengthen the font’s grid-based personality, while the combination of sharp joins and softened outer corners keeps it from feeling brittle. The chopped shapes and open forms increase visual punch at larger sizes, but also introduce a deliberate, constructed texture in continuous text.
