A compact, geometric sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms with consistent stroke weight and small-radius corner rounding throughout. Counters tend to be rectangular or squarish, and terminals are largely flat, producing a sturdy, engineered silhouette. Diagonals are crisp and restrained, while curves are minimized into softened corners rather than fully round bowls. Spacing reads even and controlled, with a slightly condensed feel in many letters and a clear emphasis on straight-sided shapes.
Well-suited to UI labels, interface headings, and technical dashboards where compact, high-contrast shapes help maintain clarity. It also fits packaging, wayfinding, and product marks that benefit from an industrial, engineered aesthetic. For longer text, it works best at moderate sizes where the squared counters remain open and the rhythm stays readable.
The overall tone feels technical and instrument-like, with a subtle retro-digital flavor reminiscent of labeling, machinery, and utilitarian signage. Its blocky geometry and softened corners balance toughness with approachability, giving it a clean, functional personality rather than an expressive or handwritten one.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, modern geometric voice built from superelliptic, rounded-rectangle primitives. It prioritizes a consistent, modular construction that reads cleanly in short bursts—logos, labels, and display lines—while retaining enough softness at the corners to avoid a harsh, purely mechanical feel.
Distinctive squared forms show up across both letters and numerals, creating strong internal rhythm in text. The lowercase includes single-storey constructions and simplified joins that keep texture uniform, while punctuation and dots appear as clean geometric marks that match the font’s rectilinear logic.
