A square-shouldered sans with rounded-rectangle curves and mostly uniform stroke thickness. The design leans on straight stems, flat terminals, and softened corners, producing compact bowls and counters that read as superelliptical rather than circular. Proportions are steady and upright, with a slightly condensed, tightly engineered rhythm in text, and clear, open apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Numerals follow the same boxy-rounded construction, giving a consistent, system-like texture across alphanumerics.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product or wayfinding systems where a compact, engineered texture helps information scan quickly. It also performs well in posters, packaging, and brand support typography when a modern-industrial voice is desired, and its blocky numerals make it a natural fit for readouts, specs, and display-oriented data.
The overall tone is functional and machine-made, evoking instrumentation, labeling, and contemporary industrial graphics. Its rounded corners keep it approachable, but the squared geometry and tight rhythm still feel technical and disciplined. In longer lines it suggests a subtle retro-futurist or sci‑fi flavor without becoming novelty-driven.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a neutral, workmanlike sans that stays legible while projecting a technical personality. By prioritizing uniform strokes, squared curves, and consistent terminals, it aims for a cohesive system font feel that remains distinctive in headings and robust in short text.
The face maintains strong silhouette consistency from caps to lowercase, with simplified joins and minimal modulation that support clarity at a range of sizes. The squarish curves create a distinctive texture where round letters feel more like rounded blocks, reinforcing a structured, grid-friendly look.
