A sturdy sans with squared, superellipse-like rounds and consistently softened corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with large, open counters and a generally compact feel in curved letters, while verticals remain straight and firm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with simple, single-storey forms, and terminals tend to be flat or gently rounded rather than tapered. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, controlled geometry, producing a highly uniform rhythm in text.
Well suited to branding systems, product UI, navigation and wayfinding, and headline or poster typography where clarity and impact matter. Its compact, rounded geometry also works for short blocks of text and interface labels that need to remain legible at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is modern and confident, balancing a friendly softness from rounded corners with a pragmatic, no-nonsense structure. It feels contemporary and functional rather than decorative, with a calm, engineered presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, highly legible voice built from rounded-rectilinear geometry—combining friendliness with structure for clear communication across digital and print applications.
The superellipse construction is especially apparent in rounded glyphs, which read more like rounded rectangles than perfect circles. Spacing and proportions support dense, readable setting, and the heavy weight gives strong sign-like visibility without relying on stylistic quirks.
