A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with uniform stroke weight and generously rounded corners. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, producing a sturdy, compact silhouette with a wide stance and short, blunt terminals. The uppercase is blocky and stable, while the lowercase follows the same rectilinear logic with simplified joins and minimal modulation. Numerals match the same squared-round construction, reading clearly and consistently in texture.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky geometry can read cleanly: headlines, posters, branding, and logo work. It can also perform well for signage and UI labels when set with comfortable spacing, where the squared-round forms reinforce a modern, technical aesthetic.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a contemporary, slightly futuristic edge. Its soft corners temper the mass, keeping it approachable while still projecting strength and certainty. The consistent geometry gives it a system-like, engineered personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice with a distinctive superelliptical construction—combining the efficiency of squared forms with the friendliness of rounded corners. It aims for bold presence and clear recognition across short texts, marks, and prominent interface or environmental applications.
Counters tend to be rounded-rectangular rather than circular, which creates a distinctive rhythm in words and a pronounced grid-like order. The design favors legibility through clear apertures and sturdy shapes, though the heavy weight and compact internal space can make long passages feel dense at smaller sizes.
