A sturdy geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and tight, efficient counters that keep the silhouette compact. Terminals are clean and largely blunt, and the overall rhythm is steady and regular, with straightforward joins and simple, utilitarian detailing across letters and numerals.
This font is well suited to interface labels, wayfinding, and short-to-medium headline settings where dense, high-contrast-at-size letterforms are needed. It also works effectively for contemporary branding and packaging that benefits from a geometric, rounded sans voice.
The tone is modern and assured, leaning more functional than expressive. Rounded geometry softens the weight, giving it an approachable, contemporary feel while still reading as direct and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans built from superelliptical geometry—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a compact footprint while adding a subtle friendliness through rounded forms.
Round characters like O, C, and G show a distinctly squarish roundness rather than true circles, reinforcing a tech-forward, constructed look. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., i/l/1) through simple dots and straight stems, and the numerals follow the same compact, even-weight logic.
