A heavy, clean sans with strongly rounded cornering and superellipse-like bowls that give curves a squared-off, cushiony feel. Strokes are uniformly thick with crisp terminals, producing compact, high-impact letterforms and tight internal counters. Round letters like O/C/Q read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/I/L/T) keep a rigid, geometric backbone. Lowercase proportions are straightforward and sturdy, with simple one-storey shapes (a, g) and short, firm joins that maintain an even rhythm across words.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a strong, friendly presence is desired—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. The rounded geometry also fits interface contexts such as buttons, labels, and navigation, where softened corners can echo UI shapes while staying highly legible.
The overall tone is modern and friendly, combining a techy geometric structure with softened edges. It feels approachable and robust rather than delicate, projecting clarity and confidence. The rounded-square geometry adds a subtle “product UI” character that reads as contemporary and practical.
The type appears designed to deliver a modern geometric sans voice with softened, rounded-rectangle forms for warmth and immediacy. Its sturdy construction suggests an emphasis on clarity at larger sizes and a consistent, system-friendly look for contemporary branding and digital layouts.
The design favors compact apertures and sturdy counters, which helps maintain a solid texture in headlines. Several forms lean toward squared curves (notably in O, Q, e, and 0), reinforcing a consistent superellipse theme across letters and numerals.
