A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and uniform stroke thickness. Corners are broadly radiused and curves resolve into squarish bowls, giving counters a boxy, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, with occasional chamfer-like diagonals in forms such as A, K, V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-story a and g, a tall, straight l, and simplified, squared-off bowls on letters like b, d, p, and q. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with a squared 0 and strong, blocky silhouettes across the set.
Works best for short to medium-length text where strong silhouette and consistency matter—headlines, posters, product branding, and functional labeling. The sturdy geometry and squared counters suit UI labels, dashboard readouts, and wayfinding where a technical, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone reads technical and purposeful, like labeling found on equipment, interfaces, and wayfinding. Its squared curves and consistent rhythm convey a controlled, engineered personality rather than a soft or expressive one.
Likely designed to blend rounded friendliness with strict, rectilinear structure—creating a modern display sans that feels engineered and systematic. The superellipse-based forms and simplified letter construction prioritize bold presence, clarity at a distance, and a cohesive, modular look across letters and numerals.
A few details add a subtly utilitarian edge: the J’s hook is minimal, the Q shows a compact tail, and several lowercase letters incorporate short horizontal feet or notches that reinforce a modular, sign-system aesthetic. The bold, compact shapes keep internal counters relatively tight, emphasizing solidity over openness.
