A crisp, modern sans with squared geometry softened by rounded corners and generous internal space. Curves are built from straightened, rectangular arcs (notably in C, G, O, Q, and the bowls), giving the face a modular, engineered feel. Strokes show subtle but noticeable modulation, with smooth transitions at joins and terminals that typically end in squared-off cuts. Proportions are compact and efficient: capitals read sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase features a tall x-height and simple, largely single-storey construction that keeps counters open and forms highly legible.
Well-suited to interface typography, product and technology branding, and wayfinding where clarity and a modern tone are priorities. Its squared curves and open counters also make it effective for bold headlines, labels, and packaging systems that want a controlled, contemporary voice.
The overall tone is contemporary and technical, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a precise, machine-made discipline. It suggests a UI/industrial sensibility—orderly, controlled, and slightly sci‑fi—without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to merge a geometric, constructed skeleton with softened corners for approachability, producing a disciplined sans that remains readable in continuous text. The consistent corner treatment and squared bowls suggest an emphasis on systematic forms that feel at home in digital and industrial contexts.
The figure set matches the squared/rounded construction of the letters, with clear, blocky forms and strong differentiation. Diagonals in V/W/X/Y are sharp and clean, while rounded letters maintain consistent corner radii, creating an even texture in paragraph settings.
