This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans built from squared-round (superellipse-like) forms with consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with large counters and generous apertures that keep the dense weight readable. Curves tend to resolve into flat-ish terminals rather than fully circular bowls, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle silhouette; straight strokes remain crisp and vertical. Proportions are compact with a slightly condensed feel in some letters, and the overall rhythm is even and stable across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
It works best where strong presence and quick recognition are needed—headlines, brand marks, packaging, and large UI or signage applications. In short-to-medium text, its open counters and even color help maintain clarity, especially when a modern geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, pairing a tech-forward geometry with friendly roundedness. Its weight and compact shapes read as confident and utilitarian, while the softened corners prevent it from feeling harsh or overly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with softened, superelliptical construction—combining high impact with an approachable, product-oriented feel. The consistent rounded-rectangle motif suggests a focus on cohesive branding and interface-friendly shapes.
Distinctive squared bowls (notably in O/Q and rounded lowercase forms) create a consistent, modular texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey ‘a’ and a simple, direct construction that reinforces the geometric theme, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
