A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) bowls and broad, squared counters. Strokes are largely monolinear with clean, straight-sided verticals and gently radiused corners, creating a modular, engineered feel. Round letters like O and C read as squarish ovals, while joins and shoulders stay firm and controlled rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are sturdy and open enough for text, with simplified details and compact apertures that keep the silhouette tight and consistent across the set. Numerals follow the same boxy-rounded construction, emphasizing clarity and a uniform texture.
This face works best where a clean, constructed look is desirable: interface labels, product and hardware branding, wayfinding and signage, and short-to-medium headlines. It can also serve as a distinctive text face for tech-oriented editorial layouts where a firm, modular texture is an asset.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with a subtle retro terminal/industrial flavor. Its rounded corners soften the geometry, but the squared structure keeps the voice authoritative and utilitarian—well suited to interfaces, devices, and engineered branding.
The font appears designed to translate a superelliptic, rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans that remains readable in text while projecting a crisp, technical identity. Its consistent radii and squared counters suggest an intention to feel systematic and contemporary, with enough warmth to avoid looking harsh.
The design maintains a strong rhythm in continuous text, with squared bowls and consistent corner radii doing most of the stylistic work. Several glyphs lean into a constructed, almost stencil-like solidity, favoring stability over organic variation.
