A compact sans with squared proportions softened by generously rounded corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than perfect circles. Strokes are sturdy and even, with mostly flat terminals and crisp, rectilinear joins; the overall rhythm is tight and space-efficient, with relatively small counters in letters like B, a, e, and 8. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, with a short, squared shoulder on r and a straight, practical t; numerals are similarly boxy, with a straightforward 1 and rounded, rectangular 0.
Well-suited to headlines, brand marks, and packaging where a strong, compact word shape is desirable. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and signage-style text where a sturdy, geometric voice and quick recognition are prioritized.
The tone reads contemporary and utilitarian—confident, direct, and engineered. Its rounded-square geometry adds approachability without losing a strong, industrial presence, making it feel both friendly and disciplined.
Likely intended as a modern geometric workhorse with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton—combining the efficiency and clarity of squared forms with softened corners for a more approachable, contemporary feel.
The design emphasizes a consistent rounded-corner radius across curves and corners, which creates a unified, modular texture in text. At larger sizes it feels display-forward due to its compact spacing and heavy interior shaping, while still maintaining clear letterforms.
