A geometric sans with a strong rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction. Strokes are sturdy and mostly uniform, with corners softened into consistent radii that give curves a squared-off feel. Counters are compact and boxy, terminals tend to finish bluntly, and the overall rhythm is steady and engineered. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a straightforward, no-nonsense ductus; digits follow the same rounded-square logic for a cohesive, display-friendly texture.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and logotypes where a modern, engineered voice is desirable. It also works well for UI labels, dashboards, and product or hardware packaging thanks to its compact, squared counters and clear, consistent geometry. In longer text it will read as assertive and contemporary, particularly at larger sizes.
The tone is modern and technical, reading like interface lettering or industrial labeling. Its rounded corners soften the otherwise strict geometry, balancing a futuristic feel with approachability. Overall it communicates precision, stability, and a contemporary, digital-era confidence.
The font appears designed to translate a rounded-rectangle grid into a cohesive, contemporary sans that feels built for digital and industrial contexts. By prioritizing consistent corner radii, firm terminals, and compact counters, it aims to deliver a clean, system-like look that stays recognizable across letters and numerals.
The design relies on repeated corner radii and flattened curves, creating a modular system that stays consistent across letters and numerals. Round letters and straight-sided letters are harmonized by the same superelliptic logic, which helps maintain an even color in short headlines and UI-style callouts.
