A geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton and consistently softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with generous radiusing at joins and terminals that keeps counters open despite the weight. The overall build is extended with broad, stable letterforms, flat-sided curves, and squared-off bowls; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay crisp while maintaining the same corner softness. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with a single-storey a and g, compact apertures, and a generally engineered, modular rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where its broad stance and rounded-rect construction can read as a deliberate style choice—headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and UI/wayfinding labels that benefit from a robust, high-contrast presence. It can also work for short paragraphs in UI or marketing copy when a distinctly modern, tech-forward voice is desired.
The tone reads contemporary and technological, with a streamlined, manufactured feel reminiscent of interfaces, equipment labeling, and sci‑fi or motorsport aesthetics. Its rounded corners temper the hardness of the geometry, adding approachability while staying firmly modern and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans built from superellipse geometry—prioritizing a cohesive, industrial rhythm and high-impact readability, while using rounded corners to keep the tone friendly and controlled rather than aggressive.
The design emphasizes uniformity and legibility through large, squarish counters and clear silhouettes, especially in O/Q and the digit set. Numbers share the same rounded-rect geometry, giving them a display-like, instrument-panel consistency.
