A rounded, geometric sans with a strong superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read like rounded rectangles, with consistently softened corners and a uniform stroke weight. The forms are broad and stable, with generous horizontals and squared-off terminals that keep curves from feeling purely circular. Proportions favor a large x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, producing a dense, sign-like texture. Spacing appears relatively open for the weight, and the rhythm is highly regular, leaning on repeated radii and straight segments across the set.
Best suited to display roles where its width and geometric personality can be a feature: headlines, branding systems, logotypes, posters, and packaging. It can also work for UI titles, dashboards, and tech-themed graphics where rounded, modular shapes improve approachability. For long text, it will be more effective at larger sizes where the boxy curves and heavy presence have room to breathe.
The overall tone is modern and tech-forward, with a friendly, toy-like softness from the rounded corners. Its modular geometry suggests digital interfaces and industrial design, while the wide stance gives it an assertive, headline-ready presence. The result feels simultaneously retro-futuristic and approachable rather than sharp or clinical.
The design intention appears to be a bold, modern display sans built from superelliptical primitives—prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a distinctive rounded-rect silhouette. It aims to deliver a cohesive, contemporary voice that reads well at a glance and feels at home in technology, product, and entertainment contexts.
Distinctive superelliptical details show up repeatedly in corners, bowls, and joins, giving the font a cohesive ‘rounded-rectangle’ signature. Several glyphs emphasize straight-sided curves (e.g., rounded-square O-like forms and squared C/S behavior), reinforcing a constructed, engineered feel over calligraphic movement.
