A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout, combining flat terminals with generously radiused corners. Curves are superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness; joins are crisp and the stroke weight stays even. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with simplified shapes and minimal modulation, while lowercase keeps a compact rhythm with sturdy arches and short extenders. Numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry, with a notably squared, softened “0” and similarly constructed “8” and “9,” producing a cohesive, modular texture in text.
Works especially well for logos, tech and consumer-electronics branding, app or device UI labels, packaging, and bold headlines where its rounded-rect geometry can be a distinctive signature. It can also serve for signage or wayfinding when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a friendly edge coming from the rounded corners. It reads as tech-forward and utilitarian, suggesting interfaces, hardware, and contemporary product design rather than editorial or literary warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, modular sans that feels engineered and consistent, using superelliptical curves to balance strict geometry with approachability. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouette recognition and a cohesive system across letters and numerals for modern display typography.
The design leans on horizontal emphasis and flattened curves, which creates a stable, screen-oriented feel. The apertures and counters are relatively contained, giving lines of text a dense, uniform color suited to display sizes and short-to-medium runs.
