A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners, giving counters and bowls a superelliptic, almost “squircle” feel. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with minimal contrast and mostly flat, squared-off terminals. The design favors broad, stable proportions with tight apertures and compact internal spaces, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Curves transition with controlled radii rather than circular rounds, and diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are crisp and straight, balancing the otherwise cushioned geometry.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short to medium text where a strong geometric voice is desirable. It performs well in UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style applications thanks to its sturdy forms and consistent stroke behavior. The bold, compact texture also fits posters, packaging, and sports or tech-oriented identity work.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered, combining friendliness from the rounded corners with a purposeful, machine-made discipline. It reads as tech-forward and sporty, with a confident, utilitarian presence suited to modern interfaces and product-forward branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans with a distinctive superelliptic construction—merging rounded friendliness with a precise, industrial structure. The emphasis on consistent strokes and softened corners suggests a goal of creating high-impact, contemporary typography that remains clean and systematic.
Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular construction, maintaining uniform weight and a cohesive, modular rhythm. Letterforms stay visually consistent across cases, with lowercase shapes echoing the squared curves and tight counters seen in the capitals, supporting a strong, modern system feel in running text.
