A geometric sans with a distinctly squared, superellipse construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle corners and terminals rather than fully circular bowls. Strokes are fairly even with crisp joins, producing a compact, engineered rhythm. Many letters sit on straight-sided stems with softly radiused corners (notably in O/C/D/U), while diagonals in A/V/W/X are clean and slightly narrow, contributing to a restrained, modular texture. Counters are tidy and somewhat squarish, and the overall drawing favors simple, repeatable shapes over calligraphic nuance.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where its rounded-rect geometry can be a defining visual cue. It also works well for UI labels, tech-themed graphics, and short text settings where a structured, modern-industrial voice is desired.
The font reads as retro-futurist and utilitarian, evoking labeling, equipment typography, and late-20th-century tech aesthetics. Its rounded-square geometry feels efficient and controlled, projecting a calm, functional tone with a subtle sci‑fi edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans with a signature superellipse skeleton—recognizable, repeatable forms that keep text feeling technical and contemporary while retaining a retro flavor.
Figures match the squared-round logic, with boxy forms for 0/8/9 and open, angular constructions for 4/7. The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey shapes and compact proportions that keep text looking orderly and slightly mechanical at display sizes.
