This typeface uses squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters with consistently softened corners. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with minimal modulation, producing a clean, solid texture. Many joins and terminals resolve into flat, horizontal cuts, and curves are built from broad, controlled arcs that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. The overall proportions are extended and open, with generous internal space in letters like O, D, and P, and a compact, geometric lowercase that stays tidy in running text.
Best suited for display settings where its sturdy geometry and extended stance can carry impact—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels, dashboards, and tech-oriented titles where a crisp, engineered voice is desired, while longer paragraphs may feel dense due to its heavy, squared forms.
The tone is modern and technical, with a confident, machine-made feel. Its squared curves and robust weight read as athletic and utilitarian, suggesting interfaces, equipment labeling, and contemporary sci‑fi styling rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a versatile sans for modern display use, emphasizing clarity, uniformity, and a contemporary tech aesthetic. Its consistent corner rounding and flat terminals suggest an aim for a cohesive, modular look across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Distinctive details include a squared O/0 with rounded corners, an angular W and V built from strong diagonals, and a Q that uses a short, geometric tail integrated into the bowl. The lowercase shows simplified, modular constructions (notably in a, e, and t), reinforcing a consistent system-driven rhythm across letters and numerals.
