A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with uniform stroke weight and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving round letters a boxy, engineered feel (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase a/e). Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled joins for sharp-looking diagonals (V, W, Y) that read like precise folds rather than calligraphic strokes. Proportions are compact with a relatively small x-height and roomy interior counters, producing a crisp, even texture in words while keeping individual glyphs highly legible.
Well suited to interface labels, dashboards, and wayfinding where clarity and a controlled, geometric rhythm matter. It also works effectively for technology branding, product packaging, and short headlines that benefit from a futuristic, modular shape language.
The overall tone is modern and system-like, suggesting UI instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and product design aesthetics. Its rounded corners soften the geometry, balancing an industrial, technical voice with approachable smoothness rather than aggression.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical geometry into a practical sans for contemporary applications, prioritizing consistency, legibility, and a distinctive squared-round character. It aims to feel engineered and modern while remaining friendly through rounded corners and open counters.
Distinctive squared curves create a strong brandable silhouette at display sizes. The numerals and caps share the same rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a cohesive, modular rhythm across mixed alphanumerics.
