A geometric sans with a distinctly superelliptical construction: rounds are drawn as rounded rectangles, giving counters and bowls a squarish softness. Strokes are largely monolinear with crisp terminals, and many joins are sharply angled, creating a precise, engineered rhythm. Curves are tight and controlled (notably in C, G, O, and e), while straight-sided letters like H, N, and U feel sturdy and architectural. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with compact, boxy forms and clear internal counters.
Well-suited to interface typography, dashboards, and product experiences where a clean, technical voice and sturdy shapes are helpful. Its rounded-rect forms also work well for wayfinding and labeling systems, and it can support modern branding that aims for a precise, engineered aesthetic without feeling harsh.
The overall tone is technical and instrument-like, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a disciplined, grid-oriented feel. It reads as modern and functional rather than expressive, suggesting interface and system design contexts.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-based, superelliptical geometry into a practical sans for everyday reading and interface use. By combining squared proportions with softened corners and even stroke weight, it aims to look contemporary, legible, and system-ready across both text and display settings.
The family’s personality comes from consistent corner rounding and squarish curves across both uppercase and lowercase, which helps maintain a uniform texture in paragraphs. The lowercase uses simple, contemporary shapes (single-storey a and g) that reinforce the geometric, UI-forward impression, while punctuation and spacing in the sample text keep a tidy, structured cadence.
