A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superelliptical forms, with a dense, even stroke and clean terminals. Curves are broad and controlled, corners are consistently softened, and counters stay open despite the heavy color. The overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with squared-off construction in letters like C, G, and S, and a single-storey a paired with a simple, rounded g. Numerals follow the same squarish-round logic, producing a cohesive, high-impact texture in text settings.
Best suited to display roles where impact and clarity are priorities: headlines, brand wordmarks, packaging, posters, and bold UI or product labeling. In paragraph settings it will produce a strong, dark typographic color, so it’s most effective when generous line spacing and shorter measures are used.
The tone is contemporary and tech-leaning, combining a sturdy, engineered feel with approachable softness from the rounded corners. It reads confident and utilitarian rather than delicate, making it feel at home in modern interface and product contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric voice with a signature superelliptical roundness—combining the cleanliness of a neo-grotesque with a more constructed, modular geometry for strong recognition at a glance.
Large sizes show a pronounced superellipse motif (notably in O/Q and rounded bowls), giving the design a distinctive, modular personality. The spacing and broad proportions create a strong blocky silhouette, which emphasizes clarity and presence over subtlety.
