A heavy, geometric sans with a strong rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Corners are generously softened and terminals are predominantly horizontal or vertical, producing a blocky, squared-off rhythm with smooth radii rather than true circular bowls. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures tend to be tight, and joins are clean and uniform, giving the design a dense, solid texture. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, sturdy extenders that keep the silhouette compact in text.
Best suited to display settings where its compact, chunky forms can work as a graphic element—headlines, branding, packaging, posters, and logo wordmarks. It can also perform in short UI labels or signage where a friendly, robust geometric voice is desirable, though the tight counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for longer passages.
The overall tone feels modern and tech-adjacent, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded corners and pill-like strokes. At the same time, the dense shapes and narrow openings add a punchy, assertive presence that reads as confident and slightly retro-digital.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, industrial geometry into an approachable display sans: solid, highly consistent shapes that feel engineered, while softened corners keep the tone inviting. The emphasis is on a bold silhouette and a unified, modular construction that remains recognizable across letters and numbers.
Numerals and caps maintain the same rounded-rect geometry, creating strong consistency across the set. The dot on i/j is a rounded square, reinforcing the squared aesthetic, and many letters exhibit subtly chamfered diagonals that keep sharp angles from feeling aggressive.
