A geometric sans built from squared-round (superellipse-like) forms and consistent, even stroke weight. Corners are broadly rounded, while terminals often end flat, creating a crisp, cut-off feel. Counters tend to be rectangular-oval and fairly open, and many curved letters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles. Several glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and notches (notably in shapes like S, J, g, and some diagonals), giving the design a subtly segmented, almost stencil-adjacent construction. Overall spacing reads balanced and modern, with a steady rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its distinctive rounded-rect geometry can read clearly—logos, headlines, product packaging, posters, and short UI labels. It can also work for brief blocks of text at larger sizes where the notch details and squared curves remain legible.
The font combines a warm, approachable roundness with a slightly engineered, modular edge. Its squared curves and occasional notches evoke retro-futurist and arcade-era industrial graphics, while remaining clean enough for contemporary UI and branding.
The design appears intended to translate superellipse-based geometry into a practical sans that feels both friendly and technical. The added notches and flat terminals introduce a recognizable signature, helping it stand out in branding and display typography without relying on ornament.
Uppercase forms feel compact and architectural, with simplified geometry (e.g., a squared U-shape in D and a rounded-rect C). The lowercase maintains the same geometric logic, with single-storey a and g and a distinctive w built from rounded joins. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction, producing a cohesive, sign-friendly set.
