A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with softened corners and largely monolinear strokes. The overall texture is open and airy, with broad proportions and generous internal counters; rounds read as squarish bowls rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, and several joins feel slightly gapped or notched, giving a subtly stencil-like, engineered finish. Uppercase forms are compact and boxy, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, constructed look with a simple single-storey a and a rounded, squarish e; figures follow the same squircle logic for consistent color.
Best suited to display and interface contexts where a clean, technical voice is desired—UI headings, app navigation, dashboards, wayfinding, product labeling, and bold poster or packaging typography. It can also work for short paragraphs when set with ample size and spacing, where its geometric rhythm and open counters remain clear.
The font projects a technical, constructed tone—like labeling on equipment or a retro-futurist UI. Its rounded-square geometry feels friendly enough to avoid harshness, but the crisp corners and modular rhythm keep it firmly in a utilitarian, digital-leaning space.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, modular sans with a rounded-rectangular skeleton, balancing mechanical precision with softened corners. The consistent squircle construction across letters and numerals suggests a focus on system-like cohesion for contemporary tech and industrial branding.
Curves are minimized in favor of squarish arcs, which makes letters like O/C/G and numerals read as disciplined, uniform shapes. The slight notches at some stroke connections add character and can help forms stay distinct at display sizes, while also pushing the design toward a schematic/industrial aesthetic.
