A compact geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are broadly monoline with closed apertures and sturdy joins, giving letters a dense, even texture in lines of text. Curves and bowls read as squarish rounds, and terminals are mostly flat with subtle rounding, producing a clean, engineered silhouette. Lowercase forms stay simple and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the body and a rhythm that feels tight without becoming cramped.
Works well for interface typography, labels, and navigation systems where compact forms and even stroke color aid quick scanning. Its sturdy shapes also suit packaging, contemporary branding, and headline settings that benefit from a clean, modern, slightly rounded voice.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, pairing an industrial clarity with softened edges. It feels confident and pragmatic rather than expressive, lending a slightly tech-forward, contemporary flavor while remaining friendly and readable.
Likely designed to deliver a straightforward, contemporary sans with softened geometry—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a compact footprint while adding warmth through rounded corners and squared curves.
The superelliptical rounding is especially evident in counters and bowls, which appear more rectangular than circular, creating a distinctive “squared-off” softness. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, robust build, supporting a consistent, signage-like presence.
