A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction: counters and outer curves read like softened rectangles rather than perfect circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are broadly radiused, producing a cushioned, monoline feel. Apertures tend to be fairly closed and the inner shapes are compact, giving letters a dense, sturdy rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off with rounding, and diagonals (like in V, W, X, Y) keep the same weight while meeting in crisp, simplified joins. Figures echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, with clear, blocky silhouettes and tight, stable proportions.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its chunky, rounded geometry can carry personality—such as posters, brand marks, packaging, app or product UI headings, and wayfinding/signage. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or labels, especially where a friendly, retro-technical feel is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a hint of late-70s/80s display personality and a subtle tech-industrial vibe. Its softened geometry keeps it friendly, while the dense weight and squared curves feel assertive and engineered rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a confident display sans: high-impact silhouettes, consistent weight, and softened corners that keep the voice approachable. It prioritizes recognizability and stylistic coherence across letters and numerals for branding-forward typography.
Distinctive glyph behavior includes a single-storey "a" and "g", compact bowls in letters like "e" and "s", and rounded-rectangular forms in "O"/"0" that emphasize the superellipse theme. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and high impact at larger sizes, with spacing that reads solid and uniform.
