A compact geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with consistently softened corners and a sturdy, even stroke. Curves are tight and controlled, and many bowls and counters read as squarish ovals rather than circles, creating a distinctive "rounded-square" rhythm. Terminals are typically flat and decisive, while a few letters introduce gentle hooks or tapered joins (notably in forms like J, t, and y), adding character without breaking the overall system. The lowercase is squat with a relatively low x-height and simple, open counters; numerals are bold and blocky with the same rounded geometry.
Best suited for display applications where its rounded-square geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short UI or product labels. It also works well for signage and wayfinding that benefits from strong, simplified silhouettes and consistent stroke weight.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and mildly playful—like mid-century signage interpreted through a modern, geometric lens. Its rounded-squared construction reads technical and manufactured, but the softened corners keep it approachable and friendly. The result is a bold, graphic voice that suggests gadgets, interfaces, and streamlined branding.
This design appears intended to translate superellipse geometry into a bold, practical sans for contemporary display use, balancing a technical, modular construction with softened corners for friendliness. The goal seems to be a highly recognizable, system-driven look that remains readable and versatile across branding and graphic layouts.
Distinctive letterforms such as a squared, open C, a rounded-top A, and a compact, superellipse O give the alphabet a cohesive modular feel. Ascenders and descenders are short, keeping lines dense and poster-like, while spacing appears tuned for impactful display rather than airy text settings.
