A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with consistently softened corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and terminals, giving counters a rectangular rhythm rather than circular. Proportions lean tall and streamlined, with compact apertures and sturdy verticals; diagonals are restrained and smoothly joined. Figures and letters share the same squared-round construction, producing a tightly systemized, modular texture in text.
It works well for interface labels, dashboards, wayfinding, and technical or industrial branding where a clean, modular voice is desirable. The tall, compact forms also suit headlines and display settings, especially in contexts that benefit from a futuristic or device-like aesthetic.
The overall tone is technical and contemporary, with a controlled, engineered feel reminiscent of interfaces, instruments, and product labeling. Its rounded corners soften the geometry, keeping it approachable while still reading as modern and precise.
The design appears aimed at translating rounded-rectangular geometry into a readable sans, prioritizing systematic consistency across glyphs. It balances strict modular structure with softened corners to maintain a friendly, contemporary usability.
Round joins and squared bowls create a distinctive “soft-rectangle” silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase, and the uniform construction keeps spacing and rhythm consistent in running text. The design favors clarity and repeatable shapes over calligraphic nuance, making it feel intentionally schematic.
