A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with heavy, even strokes and generous corner radii throughout. Letterforms favor squared bowls and straight-sided counters, giving curves a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are consistently softened, joins are clean and mechanical, and spacing reads steady and slightly compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. The lowercase maintains a tall presence with simplified shapes and minimal stroke modulation, while figures and capitals echo the same squared, rounded construction for a highly consistent system.
Best suited to display roles where its bold, rounded-rect geometry can read clearly and project a modern, technical voice—such as headlines, brand marks, product naming, packaging, and interface titles. It can work in short text blocks when ample size and spacing are available, but its dense shapes are most effective for punchy, high-contrast typographic statements.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered, with a distinctly tech-forward and industrial character. Its rounded corners keep the mood friendly, but the modular geometry and blocky silhouettes suggest digital interfaces, sci‑fi branding, and retro-futurist display styling.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a grid-based, superelliptical construction into a practical display sans—balancing strong presence with softened corners for approachability. Consistency across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention toward a unified, system-like aesthetic for modern branding and digital contexts.
The design leans on rectangular counters and open apertures, which helps preserve clarity at larger sizes while keeping a strong, unified rhythm. The squarish rounds in characters like O/C/G and the similarly constructed numerals reinforce a cohesive, grid-aware personality.
