This sans serif is built from compact, rounded-rectangle forms with a monoline stroke and softly squared terminals. Curves are superelliptical rather than perfectly circular, producing boxy bowls in letters like B, D, O, and P, and a generally rectilinear rhythm across the set. Spacing and sidebearings feel economical, with tight apertures and counters that stay open enough for clarity. The lowercase features simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), while the numerals follow the same squared-round geometry for a consistent, signage-like texture.
It suits interface labels, navigation, and product UI where a compact, structured sans is helpful. The sturdy, rounded-rect geometry also works well for signage, posters, and short headline settings that benefit from a clear, contemporary voice.
The overall tone is clean and contemporary with a subtly friendly warmth from the rounded corners. Its compact shapes and engineered consistency lend it a functional, technical character without feeling cold or overly rigid.
The font appears intended to merge a utilitarian, engineered construction with approachable rounded corners, delivering a distinctive geometric identity that stays legible and consistent in compact settings.
The design leans on squared shoulders and flat-ended strokes, creating a steady vertical cadence in text. Wide, angular diagonals (as in V, W, X, and Y) contrast with the rounded-rectangle bowls, adding crispness while preserving the soft-cornered theme.
