A geometric sans with monoline strokes and distinctive superellipse construction: rounds resolve into rounded-rectangle curves, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness. Terminals are mostly flat and perpendicular, with consistently rounded corners that keep the texture smooth and controlled. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed in the curves, with tight apertures and sturdy verticals; diagonals stay crisp and angular. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded-rect geometry, producing a uniform, engineered rhythm in running text.
Well-suited to interface labels, dashboards, and wayfinding where a clean, technical texture is desired. It also works for short-form editorial display, product branding, and packaging that benefit from a contemporary, engineered aesthetic.
The overall tone is technical and modern, with an industrial, device-interface feel. Rounded corners soften the rigid geometry, balancing a futuristic voice with approachable clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing consistency and a distinctive ‘soft-square’ silhouette. It aims for a controlled, high-clarity rhythm that reads as technical without becoming harsh.
The superellipse logic is especially apparent in letters with bowls and shoulders, where curves appear squarish rather than circular. The texture stays even across mixed case, and the dotted forms (like i/j) use simple round marks that match the font’s clean, schematic character.
