A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, uniform stroke weight. Curves are tightened into superelliptical bowls, giving letters like C, O, and G a squared-off roundness, while terminals generally end in blunt, softly radiused cuts. Proportions feel compact and sturdy with broad curves, generous interior counters for the weight, and a slightly squared rhythm that stays consistent from capitals through numerals. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel in a and g, with simple, blocky forms and minimal modulation.
Well suited to bold branding systems, product wordmarks, and punchy headlines where a geometric, rounded voice is desired. Its consistent, compact forms also work well for UI labels, navigation, and short blocks of emphasis text, especially in layouts aiming for a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a sturdy, no-nonsense presence with softened corners that keep it from feeling harsh. It reads as confident and utilitarian, with a subtly playful “rounded tech” character that suits modern interfaces and branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans that feels robust and highly legible while softening the tone through rounded-rectangle curves and gentle corner radii. The goal seems to be a versatile display-forward workhorse with a distinctive, cohesive superelliptical shape language.
Digits share the same squarish-round geometry, producing a cohesive alphanumeric set; the 0 is notably rounded-rectangular and the 1 is a simple vertical form. The uppercase has a strong, stable stance with wide bowls and clear, open shapes that help maintain clarity at larger display sizes.
