A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with tall proportions and a compact footprint. Strokes are mostly straight with softly radiused corners, producing squared bowls in letters like O/C/D and similarly shaped numerals. Curves are controlled and symmetrical, terminals are clean and unbracketed, and the overall rhythm is vertical and orderly. Lowercase forms keep simple construction with single‑storey a and g, narrow joins, and crisp apertures, while figures echo the same squared-round geometry for a consistent texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its squared-round geometry can act as a visual signature. It also works well for signage and UI labels, especially where a clean, technical voice and consistent numeral style are important.
The tone is modern and engineered, with a calm, systematic feel that suggests signage, interfaces, and contemporary branding. The rounded corners soften the structure, keeping it friendly while still reading as precise and functional. Overall it gives a slightly retro-futurist, display-forward character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a modular, rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans that remains readable while clearly signaling a contemporary, constructed aesthetic.
The font’s distinctive identity comes from its rounded-rectangular bowls and tall caps, which create a recognizable silhouette in both headings and short blocks of text. Spacing appears disciplined and even, supporting a clean, grid-like page color.
