A geometric sans built from squared counters and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves, with consistent stroke thickness and a disciplined, engineered rhythm. Many round letters (C, O, Q, G) read as softened boxes rather than circles, while verticals stay straight and firm. Corners are broadly radiused and terminals are clean, giving the outlines a sturdy, machined look. Spacing appears even and functional, with compact internal spaces and a generally tall, efficient silhouette in both caps and lowercase.
This font suits UI and product interfaces, labels, and information design where a crisp, consistent rhythm matters. It also works well for signage and wayfinding, as well as contemporary posters and tech-leaning branding that benefits from a geometric, rounded-square voice.
The overall tone is modern and technical, suggesting instrumentation, interfaces, and contemporary industrial design. Its softened-square geometry keeps it approachable while still feeling precise and systematic. The result is straightforward and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro-tech flavor.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, readable sans, balancing strict construction with softened corners. It aims for an engineered aesthetic that stays friendly enough for everyday display and short text settings.
Distinctive identifiers include the square-ish bowls and counters, plus a simplified, geometric construction in letters like a, g, and e that favors clarity over calligraphic detail. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with the 0 and 8 especially emphasizing the superelliptical, squared-off curves.
