This typeface is built from monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters a squared, superelliptical skeleton with consistently softened corners. Curves tend to resolve into flat segments and radiused bends, creating a modular, almost constructed look across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, terminals are blunt, and overall spacing reads controlled and economical, with a distinctly condensed presence and crisp rhythm in text.
It suits interface labels, wayfinding, and product/industrial graphics where a technical, systematic impression is desirable. The strong modular shapes also work well for posters and headlines, and for branding accents in tech, gaming, and electronics contexts.
The overall tone feels technical and contemporary, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and engineered products. Its disciplined geometry and restrained detailing give it a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice with a subtle retro-futurist edge.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangular, device-like forms into a readable sans, balancing strict geometry with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes a cohesive, constructed silhouette and a modern technical character over traditional humanist modulation.
Distinctive squared bowls and rounded inside corners make characters stand apart quickly, especially in caps and numerals. The design’s consistent stroke and tight interior shapes suggest it will be most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the compact counters can breathe.
