A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with monoline strokes and broad, horizontal proportions. Corners are consistently radiused and joins stay smooth, producing a compact, engineered silhouette. Counters tend toward rectangular bowls (notably in O/0, D, P, R), while diagonals in V/W/X/Y/Z are sharply cut and slightly chamfered. Terminals are predominantly blunt and squared-off, and spacing feels open enough to preserve legibility despite the wide set width.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text such as headlines, brand marks, product names, posters, and UI/UX titling where its wide, rounded-square construction can read clearly and set a tech-forward mood. It also works well for signage or labeling that benefits from sturdy, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is contemporary and machine-made, evoking interfaces, hardware labeling, and sci‑fi branding. Its rounded-square geometry reads confident and streamlined, balancing friendliness from the soft corners with a functional, technical edge.
The design appears intended to translate a superelliptic, rounded-rect geometry into a cohesive alphabet optimized for modern display use. It prioritizes a consistent modular rhythm and a streamlined, engineered presence over traditional text-serif or humanist cues.
Distinctive details include a boxy, rounded “0/O” with a rectangular inner counter, an “S” that emphasizes horizontal segmentation, and numeral forms that lean toward display styling (e.g., an angular 2 and a segmented-looking 3). The lowercase maintains the same modular logic, keeping bowls and shoulders squared and rounded rather than calligraphic.
