A geometric sans built from straight strokes and rounded-rectangle curves, with consistently softened corners and mostly monoline construction. Counters and bowls skew toward squarish forms (notably in O/0 and rounded letters), giving the design a superelliptical rhythm. Terminals are typically flat and crisp, while joins are tidy and mechanical; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean with minimal contrast. Lowercase forms are compact and structured, mixing simplified single-storey shapes (a, g) with squared apertures and short, sturdy arms, producing an overall tight, engineered texture in text.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and on-screen typography where a crisp, engineered voice is desired. It also works for tech-oriented branding, packaging, and short headlines that benefit from a compact, modular rhythm and rounded-square forms.
The font reads as modern and technology-forward, with a controlled, utilitarian personality. Its rounded-square geometry suggests digital interfaces, instrumentation, and sci‑fi aesthetics while staying neutral enough for systematic branding.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle grid into a practical sans for contemporary digital contexts—prioritizing consistency, clean geometry, and a distinctive superelliptical silhouette without decorative flair.
Figures are highly geometric, with the 0 rendered as a rounded-square form that matches the caps’ O. Curved letters like C, G, S, and e emphasize squared arcs and open apertures, keeping legibility while reinforcing the modular, screen-friendly feel.
