A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with clean, straight terminals on most forms and minimal modulation, producing an even, steady texture in text. Curves trend toward superelliptical rounds—seen in the bowls and numerals—while verticals remain firm and upright; apertures stay fairly open for clarity despite the weight. Spacing and proportions feel pragmatic and controlled, with wide, stable capitals and sturdy lowercase that maintains clear interior counters.
Well-suited to headlines and display settings where a strong, compact voice is needed, and it also works for interface labels and product UI thanks to its clean geometry and open counters. The sturdy shapes and rounded corners make it a good choice for signage, packaging, and contemporary branding systems that aim to feel both modern and approachable.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing a technical, contemporary cleanliness with friendly roundedness. It reads as confident and no-nonsense rather than expressive or decorative, making it feel trustworthy and product-oriented.
The design appears intended to provide a straightforward, contemporary sans with superelliptical rounding that softens the tone without sacrificing clarity. Its consistent stroke weight and compact proportions suggest a focus on strong legibility and a stable, repeatable rhythm across both text and numerals.
The numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with robust shapes and clear differentiation, and the punctuation shown in the sample text retains the same blunt, softened detailing. In longer lines, the font keeps a strong presence and an even typographic color, favoring clarity and impact over delicacy.
