A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners and a consistent, heavy stroke. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in O, D, P, Q, and 0), while horizontals and verticals feel structurally rigid and clean. Terminals are predominantly blunt, and counters tend to be rectangular and open, supporting crisp interior shapes. The lowercase shows simple, engineered construction—single-storey a and g, a squared-shoulder n/m, and a short-armed r—creating a compact, modular rhythm across text.
Best suited for display applications where its blocky, rounded-rect geometry can define a strong visual identity—headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and UI titling. It also fits well for sports, tech, and entertainment graphics that benefit from a crisp, modern, modular voice.
The overall tone reads modern and synthetic, with a distinctly techno and game-interface flavor. Its softened corners keep it friendly, but the squared geometry and dense presence push it toward an assertive, equipment-like feel suited to contemporary digital and industrial aesthetics.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rect, industrial geometry into a readable sans, balancing hard-edged structure with softened corners. The goal seems to be a distinctive, contemporary display face that evokes digital hardware and modern interfaces while staying approachable.
The design emphasizes strong silhouettes and clear internal cutouts, which helps maintain character separation in display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, giving dashboards and labels a cohesive, system-like look.
