A rounded geometric sans with monoline strokes and softened corners throughout. Bowls and counters lean toward circular and squarish-oval geometry, producing a compact, evenly weighted texture. Terminals are clean and blunt, with curved joins that keep the silhouettes smooth rather than sharp. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly wide in their curves, while lowercase has simple, single-storey construction (notably a and g) that emphasizes clarity and rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and brand marks where a bold, rounded voice is needed. It also works well for UI labels, signage, and packaging that benefit from high contrast against the background and a friendly, geometric presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is approachable and contemporary with a subtle retro-tech flavor. Its rounded construction and heavy, even color make it feel friendly and playful, while the disciplined geometry keeps it controlled and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, rounded geometric voice with strong legibility and a smooth, cohesive silhouette set. Its consistent stroke weight and softened geometry suggest a focus on confident display performance with an approachable, contemporary personality.
Distinctive details include a curved-join K, a compact r with a small shoulder, and a Q with a short, geometric tail that reads clearly in isolation. Numerals are simple and sturdy, matching the alphabet’s rounded geometry and consistent stroke weight.
