A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) shapes, with squared-off curves and generously rounded corners throughout. Strokes are monoline and heavy, producing a sturdy, high-contrast-from-background silhouette without internal stroke modulation. Counters tend toward rounded squares, and joins/terminals are consistently softened, giving a precise yet friendly edge. Proportions read on the wide side, with a steady rhythm and slightly mechanical spacing; several forms show modular construction (notably in the double-arch shapes and the squared bowls).
Works especially well for headlines, branding marks, packaging, and posters where a tech-forward, geometric voice is desirable. The strong, simplified forms also suit UI labels, wayfinding, and product or equipment graphics, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the superelliptical details read clearly.
The overall tone feels futuristic and engineered—clean, controlled, and slightly retro-tech, like interface lettering or hardware labeling. The rounded corners keep it approachable, but the boxy geometry and uniform stroke weight push it toward a contemporary sci‑fi/industrial mood.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a complete, consistent Latin set with a modern, tech-leaning character. Its uniform strokes and softened corners suggest a focus on clarity and modular cohesion, aiming for a distinctive display presence while retaining straightforward readability.
Distinctive squared bowls and rounded-rect counters give the alphabet a cohesive, system-like consistency. The numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying highly legible and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a compact, functional feel that suits display sizing best.
