A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a distinctly squared-off, superellipse construction. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, creating rounded-rectangle counters and bowls throughout. Strokes are sturdy and even, with clean, closed joins and a generally low-modulation feel; terminals are blunt and smooth instead of sharp. The lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified shapes (notably a and g), with compact apertures and generous interior counters that keep letters open at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with wide, stable shapes and consistent weight.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its wide proportions and rounded-rectangle geometry can be a defining visual feature. It works well for branding systems, packaging, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, approachable voice, and can also fit UI or product graphics when a bold, friendly tech feel is desired.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary while staying friendly due to the softened corners and generous rounding. It reads as subtly tech-forward—like interface or product typography—without feeling cold, thanks to the buoyant, pillowy forms and broad stance.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with soft, rounded contours, yielding a high-impact sans that stays approachable. Its superellipse construction suggests a deliberate nod to modern product and industrial design language—clean, modular, and durable at larger sizes.
The rhythm is driven by wide letterforms and tight, efficient apertures, producing a strong horizontal emphasis. Round letters (O, Q, 0) appear more like rounded squares, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and steady, reinforcing a robust, sign-like presence.
