A geometric sans with a strong, even stroke and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than perfect circles, giving round letters like O, C, and G a squarish, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be compact, producing a dense, sturdy texture in paragraphs. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with clear bowls and short, controlled extenders.
Well-suited for bold headlines, interface typography, wayfinding/signage, and packaging where a clean, contemporary voice is needed. It also works for brand systems that want a modern geometric foundation with softened edges for approachability.
The overall tone is contemporary and purposeful—more engineered than humanist—while the rounded corners keep it approachable. It reads as confident and efficient, with a subtle “device UI” or signage sensibility rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to blend geometric rigor with friendly rounding, creating a sturdy sans that feels modern and system-ready. Its consistent stroke and superelliptical curves suggest an aim for high legibility and a controlled, contemporary texture across letters and numerals.
Distinctive superelliptical rounding is especially noticeable in the numerals (notably 0, 2, 3) and in letters with curves, where the geometry feels slightly squared. The bold weight and tighter internal space make it visually impactful at larger sizes and maintain clarity in short UI labels, though long text appears relatively compact and heavy.
