A rounded, squarish sans with superellipse-like bowls and corners that read as soft rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are largely monolinear with smooth terminals and consistent rounding, giving letters a molded, uniform feel. Counters tend to be generously open and the curves transition into straighter segments in a controlled, geometric way. Lowercase forms keep a simple, constructed rhythm, while figures and capitals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive, system-like texture.
This font is well suited to branding and display settings where a distinctive geometric voice is needed, such as posters, packaging, and tech-forward identities. Its clear, rounded shapes can also work for UI labels and short interface text, especially when a friendly, modern tone is desired.
The overall tone feels upbeat and approachable, with a subtle retro-futurist and digital-industrial flavor. Its soft corners temper the geometry, making it feel friendly rather than stark, while still conveying a clean, engineered personality.
The font appears intended to merge geometric construction with softened corners to create a recognizable, contemporary silhouette. It aims for a uniform, engineered rhythm that remains approachable, balancing a systemized look with human-friendly rounding.
The design language is especially evident in rounded joins and the squared-off curvature in letters like C, G, O, and S, where the forms suggest a superellipse rather than a purely circular construction. The sample text shows a steady, even color and a slightly modular character that stays consistent across punctuation and numerals.
