A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even texture in text. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls, while terminals are blunt and squared off, giving the letters a compact, engineered feel. Proportions are straightforward and readable, with wide, open counters in forms like O, e, and a, and a generally stable baseline presence across capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short-to-medium text where a strong, clean voice is needed. The dense weight and rounded geometry also work well for UI labels, navigation elements, and wayfinding or signage that benefits from clear silhouettes and a friendly tone.
The font reads modern and approachable, combining a friendly roundness with a confident, utilitarian weight. Its squared geometry adds a subtle technical flavor, making it feel contemporary and efficient rather than expressive or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans that feels both robust and approachable, using superelliptical curves and squared terminals to create a cohesive, modern system for display and interface-forward typography.
Diagonal letters (A, V, W, X, Y) keep crisp, planar joins, while round letters maintain a controlled, boxy curvature that reinforces the family’s superellipse theme. Numerals match the letterforms’ sturdy build, with large interior spaces and simple, unornamented shapes that hold up well at display sizes.
