A geometric sans with a square-round (superellipse) construction: counters and outer curves read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. Strokes are even and consistent, with minimal modulation and a sturdy, compact feel. Terminals are clean and blunt with softened corners, and joins stay crisp, producing a disciplined rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel engineered and stable, while the lowercase keeps the same squared geometry with open, straightforward shapes.
Well suited for interface typography, product labeling, dashboards, and system-like layouts where clarity and a controlled, geometric rhythm matter. It also works effectively for headlines, posters, and signage that benefit from a contemporary, engineered look with softened edges.
The overall tone is modern and practical, with a slightly “tech” flavor from the rounded-rectangle curves and tidy, no-nonsense detailing. The soft corners keep it approachable, balancing a utilitarian voice with a friendly smoothness.
The design appears intended to merge geometric efficiency with approachable rounding, offering a clean sans that feels precise without turning sharp or austere. The superellipse-based curves suggest an aim for a distinctive, modern silhouette that remains highly legible in practical applications.
Round letters like C, G, O, Q and S emphasize the superelliptical silhouette, giving the face a distinctive square-ish roundness. The sample text shows consistent color and spacing at display sizes, with clear, blocky forms that stay legible even in dense lines.
