A geometric sans built from squared, rounded-corner forms with consistent stroke thickness and largely closed apertures. Curves are rendered as superellipse-like corners rather than true circles, producing boxy rounds in letters such as O and D. Terminals are clean and blunt, and many joins favor right angles with softened corners, giving the design a modular, engineered feel. Lowercase and numerals follow the same squared-round construction, with compact counters and a tight, efficient rhythm that stays very uniform across the set.
It performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, product branding, interface labels, and wayfinding where its sturdy geometry can be appreciated. The strong, squared-round letterforms also suit tech and gaming-oriented graphics, packaging callouts, and title treatments, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and technical, with a slightly sci‑fi, interface-driven character. Its squared rounding and disciplined construction read as precise and machine-made rather than humanist or expressive, lending an industrial, game UI sensibility.
The font appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive alphabet with a consistent, modular logic. The aim seems to be a contemporary, screen-friendly look that prioritizes crisp silhouettes, uniform stroke presence, and a distinctive squared-round personality.
The design leans toward rectangular bowls and controlled curvature, which keeps silhouettes strong at display sizes. Several glyphs emphasize geometric clarity over open readability (notably in the more closed, squared-in shapes), reinforcing the font’s engineered aesthetic.
