A sturdy geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with minimal modulation and clean joins that keep shapes crisp at large sizes. Round letters (O, C, G) read as superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, while counters are compact and consistently rounded. Terminals are generally flat or softly eased, producing a smooth, engineered rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded geometry with clear, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short-to-medium display text where its compact counters and chunky geometry can project clarity and strength. It can also work well for interface labels and wayfinding that benefit from a friendly but firm visual voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, mixing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a confident, no-nonsense presence. It feels contemporary and functional, with a slightly industrial practicality suited to clear, direct messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric look with softened edges for approachability, while maintaining strong legibility and a consistent, system-like construction across letters and numerals.
Letterforms show a preference for closed or moderately tight apertures, reinforcing a dense, impactful texture in text. The lowercase maintains straightforward, single-storey simplicity where applicable, and the punctuation and basic shapes shown in the sample text remain visually consistent with the font’s rounded, engineered theme.
