A geometric sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded corners and uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded rectangles rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with occasional chamfer-like diagonals on letters such as K, V, W, X, Y, and Z that add angular tension to the otherwise rounded system. Proportions are broad and stable, with clear, open apertures and consistent stroke joins that keep the texture even in all-caps settings.
Best suited to display sizes where its squared-rounded construction and strong presence can lead: headlines, logotypes, product branding, posters, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or dashboard-style interfaces where a technical, robust voice is desired, while longer paragraphs may feel visually dense.
The overall tone reads modern and technical, with a machine-made, interface-forward character. Its squared rounds and sturdy rhythm suggest performance and precision, leaning toward a sci‑fi and sporty aesthetic rather than a humanist or editorial one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, engineered sans with rounded-square geometry that stays crisp and assertive. Its consistent monoline structure and superellipse forms aim for a futuristic, utilitarian look that remains highly legible in bold, high-contrast applications.
The numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive, signage-ready set. In the sample text the heavy, uniform strokes create strong word shapes and a dense typographic color, favoring clarity and impact over delicacy.
