A compact, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle strokes and squared-off curves. The letterforms keep a consistent stroke weight with softened corners, producing squarish bowls in characters like O, D, and P and a boxy rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are blunt and horizontal, counters are clean and fairly open, and overall proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed in the vertical sense due to the low x-height. Diagonals (e.g., K, V, W, Z) stay crisp while still respecting the rounded-corner system, giving the design a cohesive, modular construction.
Best suited for display sizes where its rounded-rect geometry and tight, engineered rhythm can read as intentional styling—headlines, posters, product branding, and interface titles. It can also work for short labels and packaging callouts where a modern, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone reads contemporary and machine-made, with a clear sci‑fi/tech flavor. Its rounded-square geometry suggests dashboards, hardware labeling, and digital interfaces—functional and confident rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate superellipse-based geometry into a legible sans with a distinctly technological feel. By prioritizing consistent stroke behavior, rounded-square counters, and blunt terminals, it aims to deliver a coherent, futuristic texture for attention-focused typography.
Distinctive details include a single-storey "a" and "g", a squared, superelliptical "0", and numerals that share the same rounded-rectangle architecture for strong set consistency. The design’s uniform stroke and softened corners help maintain clarity while preserving a stylized, engineered personality.
