A compact geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle anatomy and consistent stroke weight. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than fully circular bowls, producing a squarish, superellipse rhythm across rounds and counters. Terminals are mostly flat and orthogonal, with open, rectilinear apertures and a slightly condensed stance that keeps word shapes tight. The overall texture is even and controlled, with a clear, utilitarian construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to interface typography, product labeling, and dashboards where a compact, geometric voice helps conserve space while maintaining clarity. It also fits tech and gaming branding, signage, and poster headlines that benefit from a clean, futuristic look.
The tone is modern and technical, with a subtle sci‑fi and industrial flavor. Its rounded-square forms feel engineered and modular rather than humanistic, giving it a sleek, device-like presence that reads as contemporary and forward-looking.
The design appears aimed at delivering a streamlined, modern sans with a distinctive rounded-rectilinear skeleton. By keeping strokes consistent and corners softened, it balances a technical, modular feel with a friendly edge suitable for contemporary digital applications.
The numeral set and several key letters emphasize squared bowls and rounded corners, reinforcing a cohesive “soft box” motif. The narrow footprint and uniform strokes create a dense, tidy line that can look especially crisp at display sizes and in high-contrast UI contexts.
