A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with mostly monolinear strokes and softened terminals. Curves tend to square off into flat horizontals and verticals, producing boxy counters in letters like O, D, and e. The lowercase shows compact, efficient construction with short arms and simplified joins; the a is single-storey, the g is single-storey with an open, angular tail, and the t has a minimal crossbar. Figures follow the same rounded-rect logic, with straight-sided bowls and crisp, flat endings.
It suits UI and product labeling, wayfinding and environmental signage, and technology branding where a contemporary, engineered voice is desired. The sturdy, rounded-rect forms also make it effective for short headlines and logotypes, especially at medium to large sizes where its distinctive geometry reads clearly.
The overall tone is modern and device-like, mixing a technical, engineered feel with friendly rounding. Its squared curves and modular rhythm suggest interfaces, instrumentation, and sci‑fi signage, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, superelliptical geometry into a practical sans for modern applications, balancing a constructed, modular look with smooth corners for everyday legibility.
Distinctive details include a Q with a sharply angled internal tail, a U-shaped w with vertical stems, and generally rectangular apertures that maintain a consistent, grid-friendly texture. Spacing appears even and the silhouette stays stable across mixed-case settings, supporting clear word shapes while preserving a stylized, constructed character.
