A geometric sans built from squared curves and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with largely uniform stroke thickness and gently softened corners. Curves tend to resolve into straight segments, producing boxy counters in letters like O, D, and 0, while terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical. The overall proportions are compact with sturdy, even rhythm; bowls and counters are fairly closed, and the lowercase follows a straightforward, single‑storey construction for a and g. Numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry, giving the set a consistent, engineered feel.
This font suits interface headings, product labeling, and brand wordmarks that want a crisp, technical look without sharp corners. It also works well for short headlines and signage where its compact, squared forms and consistent rhythm can read as deliberate and structured.
The tone is contemporary and functional, leaning toward a technical, industrial voice rather than a friendly or calligraphic one. Its rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, while the squared geometry suggests precision and systems design.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for contemporary display and interface contexts. By prioritizing consistent stroke weight, squared counters, and softened corners, it aims for a precise, modern identity with a controlled, engineered cadence.
The design maintains a strong family resemblance across caps, lowercase, and figures by repeating the same squared-curve motif in both outlines and internal counters. Wide, flat joins and simplified diagonals contribute to a sturdy, signage-like presence, especially at larger sizes.
