A sturdy sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently heavy, even strokes. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and uniform, with minimal stroke modulation and a compact, well-contained silhouette across letters and figures. The lowercase reads with a straightforward construction and modest, controlled apertures, while spacing feels tidy and regular, emphasizing a solid rhythm in text.
Best suited for short to medium-length copy where strong presence and clear shapes matter: UI labels, navigation, wayfinding, packaging, and bold editorial headlines. The compact, rounded construction holds up well in high-contrast settings and at smaller sizes where a firm stroke helps maintain legibility.
The overall tone is modern and practical, mixing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a firm, workmanlike weight. It suggests contemporary interfaces and product labeling more than expressive or calligraphic uses, conveying clarity and reliability with a slightly approachable edge.
Likely drawn to provide a contemporary, highly legible sans that feels both technical and approachable. The rounded-rectangle construction and uniform stroke weight appear intended to create a consistent, system-like rhythm that remains distinctive without relying on ornament.
Round letters (like O/Q and bowls in b/p/d) lean toward squarish counters, and joins stay crisp without decorative flaring. Numerals appear similarly compact and robust, matching the letterforms’ dense color and consistent stroke behavior.
