A geometric sans built from squared curves and superellipse-like rounds, with prominent rounded corners and mostly uniform stroke thickness. The design is extended and open, with wide bowls and generous counters that keep forms clear at large sizes. Curves resolve into flat terminals and squared shoulders, giving letters a crisp, engineered silhouette; diagonals are clean and straight, and round glyphs read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with simple, single-storey constructions where applicable and minimal modulation throughout.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a strong, contemporary voice is needed. It can also perform well in UI titling, signage, and product/tech packaging thanks to its open counters and structured shapes, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and technical, with a forward-looking, sci‑fi edge. Its squared-round geometry and strong presence suggest industrial design, gaming interfaces, and high-impact branding rather than literary or traditional settings.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with a distinctive squared-round personality, delivering a robust, contemporary look that reads quickly while still feeling characterful. Its consistent construction and wide stance point to display-first usage in modern branding and interface contexts.
Several glyphs emphasize rectangular interior spaces (notably in O/0/8/9), reinforcing the superelliptical theme. The numerals mirror the letterforms closely, producing a cohesive, display-oriented system with a firm baseline rhythm and low ornamentation.
