A compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistent, even stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls with soft corners, giving letters like C, D, O, and Q a superelliptical, boxy-round silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal stroke modulation and a steady rhythm in spacing. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simple arches and single-storey forms, while figures share the same squared-round geometry for a cohesive alphanumeric texture.
It suits short to medium-length settings where a compact, engineered look is helpful—UI labels, dashboards, packaging panels, signage/wayfinding, and concise headlines. The consistent geometry also works well for logotypes and brand systems aiming for a clean, technical voice.
The overall tone feels modern and technical with a subtle retro-futurist flavor, like interface labeling or industrial product typography. Its rounded corners keep it friendly, but the rectilinear curve logic reads precise and engineered.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a legible, everyday sans, balancing friendliness (soft corners) with a disciplined, system-like construction. It prioritizes visual consistency across the alphabet and numerals for use in modern, structured layouts.
Counters are relatively open for the narrow proportions, and the rounded corners appear consistently applied across letters and numerals. The design leans on straight stems and squared curves rather than circular bowls, producing a distinctive, orderly texture in text lines.
