A compact geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are largely uniform with subtly softened corners, producing a clean, engineered texture. Curves resolve into flattened arcs and right-leaning terminals are avoided in favor of crisp, horizontal/vertical cuts; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) stay straight and decisive. The lowercase is tall and space-efficient, with single-storey forms (a, g) and minimal joins that keep the silhouette modular and grid-friendly. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with squared interiors and consistent stroke rhythm.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and product or equipment marking where a compact, technical look is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, posters, and branding systems that lean into futuristic or industrial styling, especially when paired with ample tracking or used in all-caps accents.
The overall tone feels technical and forward-looking, with a controlled, machine-made character reminiscent of digital interfaces and sci‑fi labeling. Its squared-round geometry reads sturdy and pragmatic, giving it an industrial confidence rather than a friendly softness.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, highly consistent alphabet optimized for compact layouts. Its modular construction and squared counters suggest a focus on clarity in constrained spaces and a distinctive, tech-forward voice for contemporary display typography.
Apertures are often tight and corners do much of the stylistic work, so the font’s personality is strongest at display sizes and in short bursts of text. The design keeps a disciplined baseline and cap-height presence, creating an even, sign-like rhythm across mixed-case settings.
