A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse cues, with softly radiused corners and mostly uniform stroke thickness. The forms favor straight segments and squared counters, giving bowls and curves a rectangular feel rather than circular. Apertures are generally tight and terminals are clean and flat, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Proportions read slightly expanded with a high x-height and open uppercase spacing, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sharp against the otherwise rounded system.
Well suited to user interfaces, dashboards, and on-screen labels where crisp, squared curves read as modern and technical. It also fits signage, wayfinding, packaging, and bold headline work that benefits from a structured, futuristic voice. In longer text it will feel more display-leaning due to its tight apertures and distinctive squared bowls.
The overall tone feels technological and functional, like interface lettering or product labeling. Its rounded-square geometry conveys a modern, engineered character—sleek and systematic rather than friendly or handwritten. The look suggests contemporary sci‑fi and industrial design without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for contemporary digital and industrial contexts. It prioritizes a consistent modular system and clear silhouettes, aiming for a cohesive, tech-forward identity across letters and figures.
Distinctive glyph cues include a square-ish O/0, angular diagonals, and a single-storey style in some lowercase shapes, reinforcing the modular construction. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic with clear silhouettes suited to quick recognition. The consistent corner radius across characters helps maintain cohesion in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
