A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners and broad, even strokes. Counters are squarish and tight, apertures tend toward closed or narrowly open, and joins stay clean and mechanical rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is tall with minimal extenders, producing a compact vertical rhythm, while caps feel monolithic and steady. Numerals and punctuation follow the same superelliptical logic, with simplified, chunky shapes and generous corner radii that keep the texture uniform.
Well suited to headlines, logos, product branding, and packaging where a bold, geometric voice is desirable. It also works for UI and on-screen display typography in dashboards, games, and tech-themed graphics, especially when used at medium to large sizes for clarity.
The overall tone reads engineered and contemporary, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of sci‑fi interfaces and arcade-era display lettering. Its rounded corners soften the mass, but the squared geometry keeps it assertive and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate the logic of rounded rectangles into a complete alphabet, prioritizing uniform stroke weight, compact proportions, and a controlled, modular feel. It aims for strong impact and a consistent, system-like rhythm rather than delicate detail.
Because internal spaces are relatively tight and many forms favor squarish bowls, the font creates a dense, high-ink text color that stands out strongly. It looks most comfortable at display sizes where the rounded-rect counter shapes and distinctive terminals are clearly resolved.
