A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish curves and rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are uniform with minimal contrast, and corners are consistently softened, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Letterforms run slightly compact with broad, stable verticals and simplified joins; terminals are clean and often flat, while curved forms (C, G, O, S) keep a controlled, squared-off roundness. Lowercase shapes stay straightforward and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and a wide, shallow-shouldered m; numerals are similarly solid and blocky with rounded corners.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and brand systems that want a modern, softened-tech look. It also fits UI labels and product packaging where a compact, high-impact sans with rounded-square forms can deliver clarity and a distinctive voice without relying on ornament.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a tech-forward geometry with softened edges that keep it from feeling cold. Its weight and compact rhythm read as confident and utilitarian, while the rounded-square construction adds a friendly, product-oriented personality.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary geometric sans that replaces circular construction with rounded-rectangle forms for a more industrial, product-friendly feel. By keeping stroke contrast low and details simplified, it aims for strong legibility and a consistent, systematized visual rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The superelliptical construction is especially apparent in rounded letters and in the way curves transition into stems with minimal flare. Spacing appears even and dense enough for display use, and the sturdy forms help maintain clarity at larger sizes where the distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry becomes a recognizable signature.
