A geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with broad, flat terminals and tight curves that read as squared-off bowls rather than true circles. Proportions feel compact, with short extenders and a relatively low x-height compared to the capitals, while counters stay open enough to keep the heavy shapes from clogging. The overall rhythm is blocky and controlled, emphasizing straight segments with rounded transitions for a clean, engineered silhouette.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, logos, posters, and product packaging where its rounded-rect geometry can be a recognizable brand cue. It also works well for interface titles, game UI, and wayfinding-style labeling that benefits from sturdy, high-impact letterforms. For long passages of small text, the compact proportions may feel dense compared to more text-optimized sans designs.
The rounded-square geometry gives a distinctly tech-forward, retro-digital tone—confident and utilitarian, but softened by the generous corner radii. It feels at home in futuristic or industrial branding where you want solidity without sharpness, and it carries a playful, game-UI friendliness at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened, contemporary corners—delivering a modular, engineered feel while remaining approachable. Its consistent rounded-rectangle logic suggests a focus on distinctive silhouette and brand recognizability in prominent sizes.
Distinctive superelliptical curves create a consistent family resemblance across letters and numerals, producing a “soft modular” look that stays crisp in bold display settings. The squareness of round letters and the wide, stable feet/shoulders in several forms contribute to strong sign-like presence and clear silhouettes.
