A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth corner radii and mostly squared terminals, producing a compact, blocky silhouette. Counters are rectangular and generously opened for the weight, while apertures tend to be tight, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified construction; distinctive details include a single-storey “a”, a single-storey “g” with a squared bowl, and vertical, stem-led “m/n” shapes. Numerals follow the same modular logic, with the “0” as a rounded rectangle and the “1” as a simple vertical bar.
Well-suited for headlines, branding wordmarks, product packaging, and tech-oriented promotional materials where a bold, geometric voice is desired. It can also work for signage and UI labels at larger sizes, especially in contexts that benefit from a clean, modular, rounded-rect aesthetic.
The overall tone is confident and machine-like, suggesting a contemporary tech or sci‑fi voice with a hint of retro arcade and industrial signage. Rounded corners soften the mass, keeping the texture approachable and slightly playful rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect modular grid into a friendly display sans—maximizing impact and uniformity while keeping forms smooth and contemporary. It emphasizes a strong, engineered rhythm and clear, iconic lettershapes for attention-grabbing settings.
Because of the dense, squared rhythm and narrow internal openings in some letters, it reads strongest at display sizes where the rounded geometry and modular repetition are most apparent. The design’s consistent corner treatment and counter shapes create a cohesive, system-like texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
