A geometric sans built from straight strokes and broad rounded corners, giving many letters a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton. Curves are simplified into consistent radii, while horizontals and verticals dominate; diagonals appear sparingly and feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Terminals are clean and squared-off, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm is highly regular with consistent character widths and even spacing. Distinctive shapes include a peaked, house-like cap A, a compact G with an interior bar, and a mix of angular and rounded joins that reinforce a modular, constructed look.
It suits user-interface copy, dashboard labels, tables, and any setting where consistent character widths aid alignment, such as code-like layouts or technical documentation. The clear, open construction and restrained detailing also make it effective for headings and short instructions in product, hardware, or sci‑fi themed design systems.
The tone is cool, technical, and slightly retro-digital, reminiscent of interface labeling, instrumentation, and sci‑fi display typography. Its rounded-rect geometry keeps it approachable while the strict construction reads precise and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, system-like voice with strong alignment and predictable spacing, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance precision with a modern, friendly edge. It prioritizes uniformity and constructed forms over handwriting cues, aiming for dependable readability in structured layouts.
Letterforms tend toward squarish proportions with rounded corners, producing a strong grid-fit appearance. Numerals follow the same modular logic, with simplified forms and consistent stroke endings that keep mixed text and UI-style strings visually uniform.
