A sturdy, monoline sans with squarish skeletons and generously rounded corners that create a soft-rectangular (superellipse) feel across bowls and counters. Strokes stay even with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to end in blunt, rounded-rectangle cuts rather than sharp points. Curves are tightened into boxy arcs, producing compact inner spaces and a slightly condensed, engineered rhythm. The overall texture is dense and consistent, with clear, open apertures and simplified joins that favor legibility over delicacy.
Well suited to headlines, signage, wayfinding, and packaging where a durable, high-contrast-in-mass silhouette helps characters hold up at a distance. The uniform strokes and compact counters also fit interface labels, dashboards, and technical graphics that benefit from a consistent, engineered texture.
The tone is pragmatic and engineered, evoking industrial labeling and mid-century technical signage. Its rounded-rect geometry adds approachability without losing a utilitarian, no-nonsense character, making it feel both retro and functional.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle construction into a practical, everyday sans: sturdy, economical in space, and highly consistent across glyphs. It prioritizes clear silhouettes and a controlled, modular geometry that reads confidently in display and functional settings.
Round letters and numerals read as “squared-off” rather than fully circular, and many forms show a subtle stencil-like sturdiness from tight counters and firm, squared shoulders. The figures follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, giving numbers a stable, sign-friendly presence.
