A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like strokes, with consistently softened corners and a mostly monoline feel. The forms are wide and open, relying on straight segments and smooth-radius turns rather than circular bowls, producing squarish counters in letters like O and D. Terminals are blunt and rounded, and many joins are simplified into clean, continuous paths, creating a modular rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase keeps a compact, engineered structure with single-storey a and g, and a short-armed, streamlined f; figures echo the same rounded-square geometry with clear, high-contrast interior openings.
Best suited to display settings where its rounded-square geometry can define a strong voice: headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and tech-themed graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or interface-style callouts, but its distinctive letterforms and wide proportions are more impactful at larger sizes than in long reading passages.
The overall tone reads as digital and forward-leaning, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. Its modular construction also evokes retro sci‑fi interfaces and arcade-era tech graphics, balancing a playful personality with a controlled, engineered presence.
The font appears designed to translate a superelliptic, rounded-rectangle system into a coherent alphabet that feels both modern and approachable. Its consistent corner radii, simplified construction, and squared counters suggest an intention to evoke digital hardware, interfaces, and retro-futurist aesthetics while remaining clean and legible.
The design’s identity is strongly driven by squared bowls and rectangular counters, which makes the word shapes feel grid-aligned and systematic. In continuous text, the wide stance and distinctive lowercase forms create a lively texture that prioritizes character over neutrality.
