A modular sans with uniform strokes and softly rounded terminals, built from straight segments and shallow diagonals that frequently resolve into octagonal and rounded-rectangle silhouettes. Curves are largely implied through chamfered corners rather than true arcs, giving bowls and counters a faceted, superellipse-like feel. Proportions are steady and rhythmical, with generous internal space and clear separation between stems, arms, and joins; the overall texture reads crisp and even in running text. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner construction, with simplified, sign-like forms.
Well-suited for interface labels, dashboards, and terminal-style layouts where consistent character widths and clear separation aid scanning. It also fits tables, specs, and technical documentation, as well as short headlines for sci‑fi, gaming, or retro-tech branding where a modular geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and schematic, like labeling for instruments or a vintage computer interface, yet the rounded corners keep it approachable. Its consistent geometry and measured spacing project a calm, methodical character with a subtle retro-futurist flavor.
The design appears intended to combine a rational, grid-based construction with rounded-corner friendliness, yielding a highly regular texture that remains legible in dense settings. Its faceted superellipse forms suggest a deliberate nod to display and device lettering, optimized for orderly alignment and quick recognition.
Distinctive faceting appears in rounded letters such as C, G, O, and Q, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y stay straight and clean. Dots on i/j are compact and round, punctuation is minimal, and many joins avoid sharp points in favor of softened corners, improving clarity at small sizes.
