A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, combining straight verticals with softened corners and flattened curves. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal contrast, producing a sturdy, even color in text. Many joins and terminals feel engineered and slightly notched, with squarish bowls (O, Q, 0) and compact apertures; counters tend to be rectangular-rounded rather than purely circular. The lowercase shows a tall, compact structure with simple, upright stems, while figures are bold, blocky, and highly constructed for consistency with the letterforms.
Best suited to display applications where its modular geometry can be appreciated: headlines, logos/wordmarks, posters, product packaging, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can work for short UI labels or section headers when a technical, engineered voice is desired, but long-form text may feel heavy due to the compact counters and constructed shapes.
The overall tone is industrial and tech-forward, with a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of signage, hardware labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its squared curves and modular rhythm give it a controlled, mechanical confidence rather than a friendly humanist feel.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a versatile sans with a strong, industrial personality—balancing strict construction with softened corners for legibility and a distinctive, contemporary-retro character.
Distinctive construction details—like squared bowls, clipped/angled corners in several uppercase forms, and a strong reliance on rounded-rect geometry—create a recognizable texture at display sizes. In smaller settings, the tight apertures and dense interior spaces may read as more compact and utilitarian than airy.
