A heavy, monoline sans with squarish, superellipse-like contours and consistently rounded corners. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in O, C, and 0), giving the design a modular, engineered feel. Terminals are predominantly flat and clean, with minimal stroke modulation and a compact, tightly controlled rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and blocky, with single-storey forms where applicable and a generally uniform, sturdy texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its geometric, rounded-square construction can be appreciated—headlines, logos, product marks, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or tech-themed graphics when a robust, compact texture is desired.
The overall tone is technical and utilitarian, evoking control panels, equipment labeling, and digital-era industrial graphics. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly edge to an otherwise firm, no-nonsense voice, producing a sporty, slightly retro-tech impression.
The design appears intended to merge the efficiency of a straightforward grotesque with a distinctive superelliptical geometry, producing a compact, high-impact sans that feels both engineered and approachable.
Counters tend to be squarish and moderately open, helping maintain clarity at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, reading as cohesive with the caps and maintaining a strong, signage-like presence.
