A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with uniform, monoline strokes and tight, controlled curves. Many letters show squared shoulders and softly radiused corners, creating a modular, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and vertical proportions feel slightly narrow, with clean terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The lowercase includes single-storey shapes where expected and keeps apertures relatively closed, reinforcing a tidy, signage-like silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, display copy, and interface typography where a modern, technical voice is desired. The compact, modular shapes also work effectively for signage, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a clean, engineered look.
The overall tone reads contemporary and technical, with a subtle sci‑fi edge driven by its squared-round geometry. It feels precise and efficient rather than friendly or expressive, projecting a modern, digital interface sensibility.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for modern applications, balancing a futuristic aesthetic with straightforward letterforms. Its consistent corner radii and controlled proportions suggest a focus on systematized shapes that remain readable in everyday layout use.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls and rounded corners give the design a consistent system across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction, and the punctuation and dots appear crisp and simple, supporting legibility in short bursts and UI-style settings.
