A heavy, geometric sans with a superellipse construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than perfectly circular. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, producing a solid, high-ink presence and compact internal spaces. Proportions are fairly wide and stable, with open, straightforward structures; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm favors blocky, squared curves over humanist tapering. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, staying clear and sturdy with uniform stroke endings.
This font suits branding systems, headlines, and short-to-medium UI copy where a strong, friendly geometric presence helps navigation and hierarchy. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefit from compact, high-contrast-from-background letterforms with a consistent, modern texture.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, pairing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with an assertive, no-nonsense weight. It feels at home in tech-forward or product contexts where clarity and a slightly playful geometric flavor are desired, rather than a formal or editorial voice.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a bold, contemporary voice using superelliptical geometry—combining the efficiency and clarity of a geometric sans with softened corners to keep the tone approachable. The consistent shapes and sturdy numerals suggest an emphasis on dependable legibility in display and interface scenarios.
The design leans on consistent corner radii and squarish curves, which gives text a distinctive “soft-square” texture at larger sizes. Counters and apertures are on the tighter side, emphasizing density and impact over airiness, especially in small details like joins and terminals.
