A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Curves are broad and controlled, counters are fairly open, and terminals tend to finish with clean, squared ends rather than tapered strokes. Proportions feel slightly compact in the lowercase, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a sturdy, vertical rhythm across stems. Figures are simple and robust, matching the letterforms with minimal contrast and even color.
Best suited for headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short to medium blocks of display text where its dense, even texture can read as strong and contemporary. It can also work well in UI or product contexts for labels and navigation where a friendly geometric voice is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, pairing a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, confident weight. It reads as contemporary and functional, with a subtle tech/product feel rather than decorative or expressive lettering.
Likely designed to deliver a clean, contemporary sans voice with a recognizable rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing friendliness with authority. The consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes suggest an emphasis on legibility, strong silhouette, and reliable performance in modern graphic and digital layouts.
Capitals have a solid, poster-like presence with broad bowls and stable diagonals, while the lowercase maintains clarity at size through open apertures and straightforward shapes. The round forms (C, O, Q, 0) lean toward squarish circles, reinforcing the superelliptical theme and giving the font a distinctive, structured softness.
