A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and chamfer-like forms, with consistent monoline strokes and squared-off terminals softened by radiused corners. Counters tend toward horizontal ovals and rounded boxes, giving letters like O, D, and Q a superelliptical, “capsule” geometry. The proportions are notably extended, with long horizontals and generous apertures that keep forms open even at tighter spacing. Diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and straight, contrasting the rounded corners elsewhere, while joins stay clean and mechanical rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display sizes where the extended proportions and rounded-box detailing can read cleanly—headlines, posters, sci‑fi titling, and technology or gaming identities. It can also work for interface labels and short UI strings where a sleek, geometric voice is desired, though long paragraphs may feel dense due to the strong, stylized geometry.
The overall tone reads futuristic and engineered, with a sci‑fi display flavor that suggests interfaces, hardware markings, and digital worlds. Its wide stance and rounded-corner geometry feel modern and synthetic, leaning more toward technical clarity than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to translate a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction into an alphabet with a distinctly technical, forward-looking presence. It emphasizes consistent stroke logic, wide silhouettes, and modular shapes to create a cohesive, interface-ready display voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same structural logic, so mixed-case text maintains a uniform, system-like rhythm. The numeral set mirrors the squared, rounded-box construction, and punctuation such as the question mark follows the same modular styling, reinforcing a cohesive UI-oriented texture.
