A heavy, monolinear sans with a superelliptical construction: strokes terminate in squared ends softened by generous corner rounding, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls rather than circles. Counters are compact and often rectangular (notably in O/0 and B/P), giving the face a dense, engineered texture. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, with sturdy verticals and controlled apertures; diagonals are sparing and simplified, and joins stay clean and mechanical. Numerals are similarly boxy and stable, with tight interior windows and an overall uniform, grid-friendly silhouette.
Best suited to display roles where its blocky, rounded-rect geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and wayfinding or product labeling. It can also work well for UI titles, dashboards, and short interface labels where a technical, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is technical and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro digital flavor. Its squared curves and tight counters evoke machinery, interfaces, and industrial labeling, feeling confident and purposeful rather than casual or expressive.
The letterforms appear designed around a consistent rounded-rectangle module to create a strong, contemporary-industrial presence with a nod to retro tech aesthetics. The intent reads as prioritizing solidity, visual uniformity, and high-impact shapes over delicate detail or calligraphic nuance.
The design maintains consistent corner radii and stroke heft across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps it read as a cohesive system. The dense interiors and compact openings suggest it will look best when given a bit of breathing room via tracking and line spacing, especially in longer text.
