A rounded geometric sans built from squarish, superellipse-like bowls and soft rectangular counters. Strokes read largely monoline with gently eased joins, producing smooth, even color in text. Terminals are consistently rounded, and many curves feel “squared off” rather than purely circular, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a compact, controlled geometry. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a short-shouldered, utilitarian rhythm that favors clarity over calligraphic modulation.
This font suits interface and product contexts where a clean, contemporary voice is needed, especially in navigation labels, app UI, dashboards, and wayfinding. Its strong geometry and rounded details also work well for branding, packaging, and short headline settings where the distinctive squarish curves can carry personality while remaining legible.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, with a subtle retro-tech flavor reminiscent of signage, interfaces, and product typography. Its rounded-square construction feels friendly and accessible while still reading precise and engineered.
The letterforms appear designed to merge geometric efficiency with a softer, more welcoming edge by replacing circular bowls with rounded-rectangle shapes and keeping stroke behavior even. The result is a pragmatic sans that remains recognizable at a glance and provides a consistent, system-like rhythm in both display and larger text.
Figures are simple and highly legible, matching the same rounded-rectilinear logic as the letters; the 0 is an oval/superellipse shape and the 1 is a clean vertical with minimal ornament. The design’s distinctive identity comes from the consistent use of squared curves and rounded corners, which keeps headings looking bold and confident without becoming overly playful.
