A compact, squared sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and corners, built from consistent stroke thickness and crisp, orthogonal construction. Curves are tightly controlled and tend to terminate in softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters a boxy, engineered feel. Letterforms favor simple geometry and stable verticals; diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y) are straight and firm, while curved letters (C, G, O, Q, S) read as rounded squares. The lowercase is similarly structured, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a compact t with a modest crossbar, all designed to keep widths and rhythm even. Figures are clear and sturdy, with a slashed zero and squared-off terminals that reinforce the systematic, grid-friendly texture in text.
Well-suited to UI labeling, dashboards, and tabular or grid-based layouts where a steady rhythm and consistent character widths help alignment. It also fits technical documentation, device screens, wayfinding, and industrial or product labeling where clarity and a controlled, engineered aesthetic are desired.
The overall tone is pragmatic and technical, evoking terminals, labeling systems, and engineered interfaces. Its rounded-square geometry adds a mild retro-futurist flavor while staying straightforward and highly utilitarian rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to deliver a consistent, systematized reading texture with a distinctly geometric, rounded-square voice, balancing legibility with a purposeful, technology-leaning character. Its forms prioritize uniform spacing and straightforward construction for reliable performance in structured layouts.
The design maintains a notably consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with minimal contrast and controlled apertures that keep forms compact. Rounded corners prevent the face from feeling harsh, but the predominantly straight construction preserves a disciplined, mechanical presence.
