A geometric sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared construction softened by rounded corners. Curves are often resolved into flat segments, producing boxy bowls and squarish counters in letters like O, D, and Q, while terminals are clean and mostly horizontal or vertical. The design uses consistent stroke logic with occasional angled joins (notably in V/W/X) and compact, engineered forms; lowercase shapes echo the same modular geometry, with single-storey a and g and a straight, simplified t. Numerals follow the same pattern, mixing rounded rectangles and open, segmented curves for a controlled, technical rhythm.
Well suited for technology-oriented branding, product naming, and interface labels where a clean, modern voice is needed. The distinctive squared-round forms also work effectively in headlines, wayfinding-style signage, and packaging that aims for a contemporary, engineered aesthetic.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered, with a subtle sci‑fi or digital interface character. Its squared curves and disciplined proportions convey precision and neutrality rather than warmth, reading as contemporary, technical, and slightly futuristic.
Likely designed to deliver a modern geometric sans that stands apart from neutral grotesks by using squared curves and modular construction. The intent appears to balance legibility with a recognizable, tech-leaning silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The font’s personality comes from the tension between strict rectilinear structure and gently rounded corners, creating a sleek, softened-grid look. Open apertures and simplified forms keep the texture airy in text, while the distinctive squarish rounds make it especially recognizable at display sizes.
