A heavy, boxy sans with consistently rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with squared-off terminals and tight internal counters that create a compact, engineered feel. Curves (C, G, S, 0) resolve into superelliptical arcs rather than true circles, keeping the rhythm rigid and grid-like. Many joins and diagonals are simplified into crisp angles, producing a clean, modular texture in running text.
Well-suited for interfaces, dashboards, and labeling where a robust, high-ink presence and disciplined rhythm are desirable. It also performs effectively in large-scale applications—posters, titles, and packaging—where its geometric personality can read as purposeful and contemporary-retro.
The overall tone is technical and no-nonsense, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of terminal readouts, hardware labeling, and arcade-era graphics. Its rounded squares and dense color give it an industrial, sci-fi leaning voice that feels functional rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modular sans that feels engineered and screen-aware, using superelliptical curves and squared construction to maintain consistency across letters and figures. The emphasis is on solidity, clarity at display sizes, and a cohesive system-like texture in text.
Distinctive idiosyncrasies—like the clipped, angular diagonals on forms such as K and X, the compact, squared bowls, and the narrow apertures—reinforce a constructed, machine-made aesthetic. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, keeping the set cohesive and strongly patterned.
