A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves and largely uniform stroke weight. Counters are open and clean, with broad bowls and softly flattened curves that keep round letters from becoming overly circular. Terminals are mostly straight and square-cut, producing a sturdy, blocky texture; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and energetic, while horizontals and verticals feel stable and engineered. Spacing appears generous for a display sans, supporting large sizes and short lines with strong presence.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and wayfinding where a strong, rounded geometric voice is needed. It performs well in short text blocks and large typographic statements, especially where clarity and impact outweigh delicate typographic nuance.
The overall tone is contemporary and self-assured, combining a friendly softness from the rounded forms with a no-nonsense, utilitarian heft. It reads as approachable but authoritative—more industrial and practical than playful.
Likely intended as a contemporary display workhorse: a bold, rounded geometric sans that stays highly legible while projecting strength and modernity. The superelliptic shaping suggests an aim for a tech-forward, product-friendly aesthetic that feels engineered rather than expressive.
Uppercase forms show simplified, highly legible constructions (notably the open apertures and broad internal spaces), and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm suited to signage-style reading. Numerals are similarly robust, with clear silhouettes designed to hold up at distance and in high-contrast applications.
