A compact, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and firmly squared terminals. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and clear, open counters; curves stay controlled rather than fully circular. Proportions favor a tall lowercase with short extenders, while uppercase forms remain sturdy and slightly condensed in feel. Joints and diagonals are clean and direct, giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered rhythm, and the numerals follow the same squared, monoline logic for a unified texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and bold typographic statements where its dense, geometric color can carry the page. It also fits UI labels, navigation, and signage thanks to its clear forms and compact spacing, and can work for short-to-medium passages when a modern, sturdy voice is desired.
The overall tone reads contemporary and utilitarian, with a friendly edge coming from the softened corners and generous apertures. It feels straightforward and reliable—more technical than expressive—while still approachable and legible at a glance.
The letterforms suggest an intention to blend geometric precision with softened corners for a practical, contemporary workhorse. The consistent stroke weight and superelliptical structure aim for strong presence, efficient space usage, and dependable clarity across display and interface contexts.
Distinctive superelliptical bowls and squared ends create a tight, efficient footprint and a strong typographic color, especially in headings. The design’s controlled geometry keeps shapes consistent across curves, diagonals, and straight strokes, helping maintain an even texture in longer lines of copy.
