A geometric sans built from squared, superelliptical shapes with generously rounded corners and a consistent, monoline stroke. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, giving letters like O, Q, D, and P a softened, modular feel. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, with occasional angled joins (notably in V/W/X/Y) that keep diagonals crisp. Proportions read broad and steady, with open apertures and compact inner counters that emphasize a sturdy, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its squared-round geometry and strong silhouette can read as a deliberate style choice—headlines, logos, packaging, signage, and UI/tech-themed graphics. It can also work for short blocks of text when a robust, engineered look is desired, especially where clarity and a consistent rhythm matter.
The overall tone feels technical and utilitarian, like labeling on equipment, interfaces, or performance-oriented branding. Rounded corners temper the strict geometry, adding a friendly, contemporary edge without losing its assertive presence.
The design appears intended to blend industrial precision with approachable rounding, using superelliptical construction to create a cohesive, modern system. It prioritizes a sturdy footprint, consistent stroke behavior, and a distinctive squared curvature that differentiates it from purely circular geometric sans designs.
Numerals follow the same squared-round construction, with stacked, rounded-rectangular forms in 8 and a closed, rectangular zero. The lowercase remains simple and schematic, supporting clear word shapes while maintaining the font’s modular, squared curves.
