This typeface is built from squared, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners and uniform, low-contrast strokes. Curves resolve into softened rectangles rather than circles, giving counters a boxy, engineered feel and keeping terminals mostly blunt and horizontal. Proportions lean broad with a high x-height, and the overall rhythm is compact and steady, supported by consistent stroke thickness and minimal optical modulation. Numerals and capitals follow the same modular construction, emphasizing clarity and a cohesive, system-like geometry.
It performs best in headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster work where bold, geometric silhouettes can lead. The sturdy construction also suits UI titles, dashboard labels, and wayfinding/signage applications that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is contemporary and technical, with an industrial, interface-driven character. Its softened-square shapes feel futuristic and sporty at once—confident, efficient, and slightly retro-digital without becoming overtly playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans with softened rectangular construction—optimized for strong presence, consistency, and a distinctly engineered voice.
Rounded corners are applied consistently across the set, producing a smooth, machined finish and reducing sharp joins. The square-ish counters and blunt terminals create strong silhouettes at large sizes, while the dense shapes can read as assertive and space-efficient in text blocks.
