A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with consistent stroke thickness and squared terminals softened by generous corner radii. Curves resolve into flat segments and tight-radius corners, giving counters a boxy, inset look and creating a modular, constructed rhythm. Proportions lean compact with slightly extended horizontals in several letters, and spacing feels open and even, supporting clear silhouettes at display sizes. The numerals and capitals echo the same rounded-square geometry, with simple, engineered joins and minimal contrast throughout.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and interface labels where its geometric construction can read clearly and set a strong tone. It also works for wayfinding-style signage and short blocks of copy, especially in tech, gaming, or product contexts where a structured, futuristic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is technical and forward-looking, with a retro-digital flavor reminiscent of control panels, arcade UI, and sci‑fi titling. Its rounded corners keep it approachable, while the squared geometry and modular detailing read as precise and engineered.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a clean, contemporary sans for display use, balancing hard-edged, engineered structure with softened corners for readability and approachability.
Several glyphs incorporate distinctive cut-ins and squared bowls that emphasize a fabricated, system-font personality. The texture becomes more pronounced in longer text, where repeated rounded rectangles create a steady, grid-like cadence.
