A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and crisp, squared terminals. The strokes read as monolinear at display sizes, with tight inner counters and a strong emphasis on horizontal/vertical geometry. Curves are consistently squashed into softened corners rather than true circles, giving O- and C-like forms a squared bowl. Notable detailing includes flat crossbars, short apertures, and several angled joins (e.g., in V/W/K) that add a slightly engineered, modular feel. Figures follow the same rounded-rect logic, with a boxy 0 and an 8 built from stacked rectangular counters.
Best suited for display typography where its squared-round geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and UI/tech-themed graphics. It can work for short bursts of text (labels, pull quotes, navigation) but is most effective when given enough size and spacing to keep counters and apertures from clogging.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, evoking electronic interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro-futurist titling. Its squared curves and tight apertures create a disciplined, technical mood that feels modernist but with a distinctive arcade/control-panel edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, futuristic sans voice built from superelliptic forms—prioritizing a strong silhouette, modular consistency, and a distinctive rounded-rectangle personality for titles and graphic branding.
At smaller sizes the narrow counters and condensed openings can darken the texture, while at larger sizes the consistent corner radii and rectangular bowls become a defining stylistic signature. The lowercase maintains the same rigid geometry, keeping the rhythm uniform and intentionally constructed rather than handwritten or calligraphic.
