This typeface is built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with squared curves and consistently softened corners. Strokes are mostly uniform with gentle modulation at joins, producing sturdy, compact lettershapes and a slightly condensed feel in some glyphs. Curves tend to be controlled and boxy rather than purely circular, and terminals are clean and blunt with rounded endings. Counters are relatively tight in several letters, and the overall rhythm is even, with clear differentiation between caps, lowercase, and figures while maintaining a cohesive geometric construction.
It is well suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong geometric voice is desired. The sturdy shapes and rounded corners also fit wayfinding, packaging, product labels, and interface headings, especially when you want a technical-but-friendly aesthetic.
The tone blends a practical, engineered clarity with a warm, approachable softness. Its rounded-rect geometry evokes mid-century industrial labeling and display typography, giving it a subtly retro, tool-like character that still feels friendly and contemporary.
The design intent appears to be a geometric sans that prioritizes distinctive superelliptical construction and softened corners for a recognizable, industrial-leaning voice. It aims to balance legibility with character, offering a compact, sturdy texture that works particularly well for display typography.
The set shows deliberate idiosyncrasies that add character—such as squared bowls, compact interior spaces, and a few distinctive curve-to-stem transitions—without breaking consistency. Figures are bold and graphic, and the overall silhouette reads well at larger sizes where the softened corners and boxy curves become a defining feature.
