A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with heavy, even strokes and generously radiused corners. Curves resolve into flattened bowls and squared-off terminals, giving letters a compact, engineered look despite the wide proportions. Counters tend toward rounded squares, joins are crisp, and diagonal strokes (as in V/W/X/Y) are straight and sturdy rather than calligraphic. The rhythm is consistent and monolinear in feel, with tight apertures and a preference for horizontal/vertical structure over organic modulation.
Best suited to display use where its wide stance and squared-round geometry can read clearly at larger sizes—headlines, brand marks, product packaging, and environmental or wayfinding graphics. It also fits UI titles, tech-oriented identities, and bold labels where a clean but distinctive industrial voice is needed.
The overall tone reads modern and technical, with a controlled, machine-made character. Its blocky rounding balances friendliness with an assertive, utilitarian presence, evoking interface typography, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, engineered sans with a signature superelliptical geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent stroke behavior, and a cohesive rounded-rectangle system across letters and numerals.
Distinctive squared bowls appear across O/Q/0 and several lowercase forms, reinforcing a modular system. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy construction with minimal gesture (notably in a single-storey-style silhouettes for several letters), and the numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive set.
