A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like shapes with consistently rounded corners and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls rather than true circles, giving counters a boxy, compact feel. Vertical strokes read straight and sturdy, terminals are mostly flat, and joins stay clean and mechanical. Proportions are tidy and consistent across the set, with a relatively even rhythm and a slightly condensed, engineered silhouette in letters like C, S, and G where rounding is controlled and squarish.
Works well for interface labels, dashboards, and technical readouts where a consistent, grid-friendly rhythm helps alignment. It also suits packaging, posters, and signage seeking a clean industrial look with softened corners. In longer passages it will read best when ample size and spacing preserve the distinct, squared counters.
The overall tone is technical and purposeful, with a retro digital flavor that feels at home in instrumentation and screen-era aesthetics. Rounded corners soften the otherwise industrial geometry, making it feel approachable rather than harsh. The result is a pragmatic, modernist voice with a subtle sci‑fi/terminal sensibility.
The design appears intended to blend modular, screen-oriented geometry with gentler rounding for everyday usability. By emphasizing rounded rectangles over circular forms, it aims for a distinctive digital-industrial identity while maintaining clarity and consistency across letters and numerals.
The numerals and lowercase echo the same rounded-rectangle construction, keeping a cohesive texture in running text. Shapes such as the single-storey a and g, along with squared counters and simplified forms, reinforce a functional, system-like character that stays legible at display sizes.
