A rounded, geometric sans with a distinctly modular construction: many curves resolve into softened corners and chamfer-like joins, giving bowls and counters an almost octagonal, superellipse feel. Strokes are even and clean, with open apertures and compact, neatly contained counters that keep forms crisp despite the softened geometry. Uppercase shapes are stable and straightforward, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved shoulders and terminals that often finish with subtle hooked or wedge-like cuts. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, with simple, legible silhouettes and consistent stroke rhythm across the set.
Best suited to branding and headline work where its rounded geometric character and distinctive terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short UI labels, packaging, and poster typography when a friendly, modern-retro tone is desired and a bit of typographic personality is welcome.
The overall tone reads friendly and slightly retro-futuristic, combining geometric order with small, idiosyncratic details that feel playful rather than strict. Its softened corners and modular curves lend a warm, approachable voice, while the angular rounding adds a quirky, crafted character.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with a signature modular rounding and a few expressive terminals, creating a typeface that feels both systematic and personable. It aims for clear shapes and steady rhythm while differentiating itself through its chamfered, superellipse-inspired curve language.
Distinctive terminal treatments (notably in letters like w, y, and several lowercase joins) create a recognizable texture in running text and add a lightly decorative accent without becoming fully ornamental. The round forms remain disciplined and repeatable, which helps maintain consistency across mixed-case settings.
