A wide, rounded-rectangle sans with a superelliptic construction: curves resolve into softly squared corners and straight stretches, producing a compact, engineered rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear with gently modulated joins, and counters tend toward squarish bowls (notably in O, D, and 0). Terminals are consistently rounded, and horizontals often end with softened corners rather than sharp cuts, giving the forms a smooth, molded feel. The lowercase maintains clear, open shapes with single-storey a and g, while numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, branding, packaging, and poster typography where its wide stance and rounded-square shapes can define the visual identity. It can also work for UI labels and interface headings when a clean, tech-forward feel is desired and space allows for its broad letterforms.
The overall tone feels modern and technical while staying approachable, like product UI lettering or contemporary transport and equipment branding. Its soft-cornered geometry suggests a futuristic, manufactured aesthetic rather than a humanist or calligraphic one, lending it a confident, upbeat voice.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened, superelliptic rounding, creating a contemporary sans that feels both engineered and friendly. Its consistent rounded-rectangle logic and wide proportions suggest an emphasis on strong silhouettes for modern branding and interface-forward communication.
The face emphasizes width and stability, with broad bowls and generous interior space that keep it readable at larger sizes. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and sturdy with softened intersections, and the squarish curves create a distinctive, consistent silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
