A compact, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and straight segments, with consistent monoline strokes and softly squared terminals. Counters are generally rectangular with generous corner radii, giving bowls and rounds a superelliptical feel. Vertical stems dominate, curves are tightly controlled, and joins stay crisp, producing a steady rhythm and a slightly engineered texture. The overall silhouette reads tall and condensed, with open apertures and simplified details that keep forms clear at a glance.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where clarity and a contemporary, technical voice are desired—UI labels, wayfinding and environmental graphics, product packaging, and headline typography. Its condensed footprint helps in tight spaces, while the rounded-square forms keep it friendly enough for branding and display applications.
The font projects a modern, technical tone—more instrument-panel and interface than editorial. Its rounded-square geometry feels streamlined and controlled, suggesting precision, efficiency, and a mildly sci‑fi sensibility without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangular, superellipse construction into a practical sans with a strong, modern identity. It prioritizes consistency and a compact, space-efficient rhythm while maintaining legibility through open shapes and simplified, geometric letterforms.
Several glyphs lean into modular construction: rounded bottoms on U-like forms, squared-off C/S curves, and a distinctive, angular “a” and “g” that reinforce the engineered aesthetic. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, maintaining consistent texture alongside uppercase and lowercase.
