A geometric sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction: rounds tend to look like softened rectangles, and corners are consistently radiused. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, creating a strong, even texture with minimal modulation. The x-height reads high, with short ascenders/descenders and compact internal counters that keep lowercase dense and sturdy. Terminals are clean and blunt, curves are controlled, and diagonals are crisp, giving the whole design a tightly engineered rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and UI or product-style graphics where a strong, contemporary voice is needed. It works well for short bursts of text, signage-style statements, and tech or sports-adjacent identity work that benefits from geometric clarity and rounded strength.
The overall tone feels modern and tech-forward, combining a machine-made precision with approachable rounded corners. Its weight and tight apertures convey confidence and impact, while the softened geometry keeps it from feeling harsh or overly sterile.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern display sans built from rounded-rectangular primitives, balancing robustness with friendliness. It prioritizes consistency of curvature and a solid silhouette for impactful reading at larger sizes.
The numerals and uppercase follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive system that looks especially consistent in all-caps settings. Spacing appears generous enough for display use, but the smaller counters suggest it benefits from moderate sizing and comfortable tracking in longer lines.
