A condensed geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and a pronounced superelliptical construction: round shapes read as rounded rectangles, and many terminals resolve into softly squared corners rather than true circles. Curves are tight and controlled, with straight verticals and horizontals dominating the skeleton. Counters are generally open and simplified, producing a crisp rhythm and consistent texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-rect logic, maintaining a cohesive, modular feel.
Well-suited to user interfaces, product labeling, and information design where compact letterforms and a clean, consistent stroke help maintain clarity at small-to-medium sizes. It can also work for tech branding, dashboards, and minimalist editorial headings where a structured, geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered, suggesting a sleek, forward-looking aesthetic. Its rounded-square geometry feels friendly enough for interface work while still reading as precise and systematized, giving it a subtly sci‑fi, digital flavor without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to translate a rounded-rectangle, superelliptical geometry into a practical text-and-display sans. Its consistent stroke and compact proportions prioritize a systematic look, aiming for modern utility with a distinctive, softly squared personality.
The design leans heavily on vertical emphasis and compact widths, which makes it space-efficient and visually tidy. Distinctive rounded-rectangle bowls and squared-off curves give the letterforms a recognizable signature, especially in rounded characters and in the way shoulders and joins are softly boxed rather than fully circular.
