A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with monoline strokes and consistently softened corners. Curves are largely squared-off, producing boxy bowls and counters in letters like O, D, and Q, while joins and terminals stay clean and uniform. The design keeps a steady rhythm with generous interior space and clear, open apertures in forms such as C, E, and S; diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and minimally tapered. Numerals follow the same modular construction, with squared curves and simple, legible silhouettes that align well with the caps.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and wayfinding where a crisp, technical voice is desired. The distinctive rounded-rect geometry also suits logos, product branding, packaging, and poster headlines, and it can handle short text blocks when a stylized, digital texture is acceptable.
The overall tone reads as technological and engineered, with a distinctly retro-digital feel reminiscent of signage, interfaces, and sci‑fi titling. Its rounded-square geometry adds friendliness, while the rigid construction keeps it precise and utilitarian.
The design intent appears to be a clean, modern geometric sans with a modular rounded-square system, aiming for a futuristic, machine-made personality while maintaining straightforward legibility. The consistent corner rounding and simplified construction suggest it was built to feel cohesive across letters and numerals in contemporary display and UI contexts.
The sample text shows strong consistency across cases, with lowercase shapes echoing the caps through squared bowls and straightforward stems. Spacing appears designed for clarity at display-to-text sizes, and the simplified, modular shapes create a recognizable texture in longer passages.
