A compact, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and corners. Strokes stay consistent and sturdy, with largely square terminals and minimal modulation, giving the letters a solid, blocky presence. Counters are open but tightly managed, and the overall proportions favor efficient width with steady spacing and a uniform rhythm. Numerals match the same squared-round construction, reading crisp and stable in text.
This font is well-suited to bold headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, geometric voice helps text occupy space efficiently while staying readable. It also performs well for signage and UI labels, especially in larger sizes where the rounded-rectangular forms and sturdy strokes remain clear and distinctive.
The tone is modern and assertive, with a straightforward, no-nonsense voice. Its softened corners keep it from feeling harsh, while the dense geometry and firm strokes project confidence and clarity. Overall it suggests contemporary, practical communication rather than expressive or decorative styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, geometric sans that balances firmness with approachability. By using superellipse-based curves and restrained detailing, it aims for high clarity, consistent rhythm, and a confident presence across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters (like C, O, Q) lean toward superelliptical shapes rather than perfect circles, and the same rounded geometry repeats across both uppercase and lowercase for strong internal consistency. The lowercase feels workmanlike and structured, supporting clear word shapes without calligraphic influence.
