A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and straight segments, with consistent stroke thickness and generously rounded corners. Letterforms are very extended horizontally, with a low-contrast, monoline construction and a clean, engineered rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into softened corners rather than continuous circular bowls, and many joins and terminals end in smooth, squared-off radii. Counters are open and simplified, giving the design a modular, schematic feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its extra-wide proportions and distinctive geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, product marks, and brand lockups. It can also work well for UI titles, dashboard labels, and tech-themed graphics where a clean, modular voice is desirable.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, evoking interface graphics and sci‑fi industrial design. Its wide stance and rounded-square geometry feel controlled and machine-like, while the softened corners keep it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a highly legible, modern alphabet with a strong technological personality. By keeping strokes consistent and corners uniformly radiused, it aims for a cohesive system aesthetic across letters and numerals.
Several diagonals and angled joins (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) introduce a sharp, directional energy that contrasts with the superelliptical bowls. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, reinforcing a cohesive system look in mixed alphanumeric settings.
