A heavy, rounded-rect sans with superelliptical curves and squared-off terminals. Counters are relatively tight and often rectangular/oval hybrids, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Curves transition smoothly into straighter segments, and many joins (as in K, M, N) feel crisp and structural rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is simple and highly legible with single-storey forms (notably a and g), short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and a consistent, sturdy rhythm across text.
Best suited to headlines, UI labels, and short to medium text where a strong, compact sans is needed. The rounded geometry and robust shapes also work well for signage and wayfinding, as well as branding and packaging that benefit from a modern, approachable industrial feel.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry. It reads as confident and “built,” suggesting reliability and clarity rather than delicacy or expressiveness. The look feels at home in digital interfaces and brand systems that want approachability without losing a technical, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy geometric sans driven by superelliptical construction—balancing clean, technical structure with softened corners for warmth. It prioritizes legibility and consistency, aiming for a contemporary voice that performs reliably across display and interface contexts.
Round letters like O and Q lean toward a rounded-rectangle silhouette, reinforcing the superelliptical theme; the Q’s tail is minimal and integrated. Numerals are compact and sturdy, with the 1 featuring an angled top and the 4 built from clear, straight strokes, matching the font’s structural logic. In the sample text, spacing and proportions support dense, headline-style setting with strong word shapes.
