A clean, geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction that gives curves a squarish softness. Strokes are uniform and low in modulation, with crisp terminals and consistent rhythm across the set. Letterforms favor open apertures and simple joins; rounds like C, O, and G read as softened boxes, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) stay straight and tidy. The lowercase is straightforward and highly regular, with a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and a generally even texture that stays stable in continuous text. Numerals are similarly geometric, with rounded corners and clear, uncluttered silhouettes.
Well suited to interfaces, terminals, and coding environments where consistent alignment and predictable rhythm are important. It also works effectively in technical documentation, dashboards, tables, and labeling systems that benefit from a clear, regular texture and unobtrusive voice.
The overall tone is pragmatic and composed, with a subtle retro-computing or instrument-panel feel. Its disciplined spacing and modular geometry suggest precision and reliability more than expressiveness, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
Designed to deliver a highly consistent, grid-friendly reading experience with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry. The intent appears to balance functional clarity with a soft-edged, modern-industrial character that remains neutral in longer passages.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls create a recognizable signature, especially in O/0 and C/G, which read more like rounded squares than pure circles. The even spacing and consistent widths produce a strong grid-aligned cadence that holds up well in blocks of copy and code-like settings.
