A geometric sans with square-rounded (superelliptic) construction and generous horizontal proportions. Strokes are monoline and heavy, with corners consistently softened and curves tending toward rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Counters are compact and apertures are relatively closed, producing a dense, blocky texture at text sizes. The overall rhythm is stable and engineered, with tight internal spacing and flat terminals that emphasize a built, modular silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of copy where a strong, tech-forward look is desired. It can work for UI labels, esports/gaming graphics, product packaging, and signage where clarity at a glance matters. For paragraphs, it will benefit from increased tracking and comfortable line spacing to offset the dense counters.
The font reads as technical and futuristic, with a retro digital flavor reminiscent of sci‑fi interfaces and industrial labeling. Its sturdy, compact forms project confidence and utility more than warmth, creating a strong, assertive voice. The rounded corners keep the tone approachable while maintaining a distinctly mechanical edge.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle geometry into a robust, modern sans for display use. It prioritizes a cohesive, modular shape language and a commanding presence, aiming to evoke digital/industrial contexts while remaining clean and legible.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals like 0/8/9 show pill-shaped counters and squared curvature, reinforcing the superellipse theme. Several lowercase forms (notably a, e, g, and s) use horizontal cuts and compact bowls, which enhances the display-like character. The overall darkness and tight counters suggest it will hold up best with ample size or spacing in longer lines.
