A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) bowls and corners, drawn with a consistent, heavy stroke. Curves resolve into squared-off arcs, producing closed counters that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, with occasional notch-like cuts (notably on forms like G, Q, and some diagonals) that add a slightly modular, machined character. Proportions are broad and stable, with an even baseline and sturdy, blocky silhouettes; lowercase uses single-storey a and g, reinforcing the constructed, contemporary feel.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, logos/wordmarks, posters, packaging, and tech-oriented branding. It can also work for short UI labels, dashboards, or wayfinding where strong silhouettes and quick recognition matter. For extended body copy, its heavy, blocky rhythm may feel dense, but it performs well in short bursts and large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and tech-forward, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Rounded corners keep it approachable, while the squared geometry and cut-in details push it toward a sci‑fi/interface aesthetic. It reads as assertive and functional, suited to bold statements rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern sans built from superelliptic primitives—prioritizing strong geometry, consistent stroke weight, and a distinctive engineered voice. The small cuts and squared curves suggest an aim for recognizability and a contemporary, device-like aesthetic across letters and numerals.
Numerals and uppercase share the same rounded-rect vocabulary, giving mixed alphanumeric strings a cohesive look. The forms stay highly consistent across the set, with generous interior space for the weight, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes. The distinctive notches and squared curves create recognizable word-shapes, but can become visually dominant in long passages.
