A geometric sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared-round construction: many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and superellipse-like counters. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, and corners are consistently softened, producing a crisp but approachable edge. The rhythm is structured and modular, with generous interior counters and clear apertures; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and firm, while round letters (O, Q, C, G) feel engineered rather than purely circular. Figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry, giving the set a cohesive, system-like texture.
Works well for interface typography, product and tech branding, dashboards, and wayfinding where a clean, constructed geometry supports clarity. The squared-round forms also suit display sizes for headings or logotypes that want a contemporary, engineered voice while remaining readable in short text blocks.
The overall tone reads modern and technical, with a subtle sci‑fi flavor driven by squared curves and disciplined spacing. It feels precise and contemporary rather than expressive or calligraphic, projecting a controlled, engineered personality suited to digital and industrial contexts.
Likely designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for modern digital use, balancing crisp straight strokes with softened corners for a refined, systematized look. The consistent construction across letters and numerals suggests an emphasis on cohesion and a recognizable, futuristic silhouette.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls make round forms appear slightly squarish, and the consistent corner radius helps unify mixed straight/curved structures. The lowercase maintains a simple, constructed feel with straightforward stems and minimal modulation, keeping the texture even in continuous text.
