A compact, modular sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners and near-uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and squared counters, giving letters a boxy silhouette while preserving friendly rounding at terminals and joins. The overall rhythm is grid-like and systematic, with simplified constructions and a sturdy, low-contrast texture that stays even across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to branding and packaging that want a sturdy, tech-leaning voice, as well as posters and headlines where its chunky modular shapes can read confidently at larger sizes. It also fits UI labels, badges, and interface-style graphics where a consistent, engineered rhythm helps create clear hierarchy and a purposeful tone.
The combination of squared geometry and rounded corners reads as retro-tech and utilitarian, reminiscent of display typography used in instrumentation and early digital-era graphics. Despite the industrial structure, the softened corners keep it approachable and slightly playful, making it feel more gadget-like than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, systematic display voice by marrying rounded corners with squared, modular letterforms. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on repeatable shapes and a clean, engineered texture that stays recognizable across text and numerals.
Distinctive details include squared counters in characters like B and 8, a rounded-rect O/0 structure, and generally closed, compact apertures that emphasize solidity. Numerals and letters share a consistent modular logic, producing a cohesive, sign-like presence in both short labels and longer pangram text.
