A heavy, extended sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly squared-off but softened by generous corner rounding. Counters tend to be rectangular/oval hybrids with wide apertures, giving letters a spacious, engineered feel. Curved forms like C, G, O, and S read as softened boxes, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and broad, maintaining an even color across lines of text. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic with compact joins and simplified shapes, and the numerals echo the squarish bowls and wide stance for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display use where its wide stance and rounded-square geometry can be appreciated—headlines, identity systems, logos, packaging, and promotional graphics. It also works well for tech-facing interfaces and wayfinding-style labeling when set with ample space, where the sturdy forms maintain clarity and presence.
The overall tone is modern and technical, balancing firmness with approachable rounded corners. It suggests contemporary UI and product design—confident and utilitarian—while the softened geometry keeps it from feeling harsh. The wide proportions and strong silhouette contribute to a bold, forward-looking presence.
The design appears intended to translate a superelliptical, rounded-rect aesthetic into a robust sans that feels contemporary and engineered. It prioritizes strong silhouette, consistent stroke weight, and a cohesive squared-round vocabulary to deliver a distinctive, modern display voice across letters and numerals.
Spacing and rhythm favor horizontal breadth, producing a stable, blocky texture in paragraphs and a strong, banner-like impact in headlines. Distinctive superelliptical bowls and rounded-square counters create recognizable word shapes, especially at larger sizes where the geometry reads most clearly.
