A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and smooth corner radii, producing superellipse-like bowls and counters. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with soft terminals, giving letters a clean, engineered outline rather than calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel compact with generous internal space; curves are disciplined and corners are uniformly rounded, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and straight. Numerals and lowercase follow the same rounded-square logic, creating a cohesive, system-like rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to user interfaces, app navigation, and product labeling where a tidy, engineered texture supports quick scanning. It also works for wayfinding, small-format headings, and tech-forward posters where the rounded-square geometry can become a recognizable visual signature.
The overall tone is technical and measured, with a calm, clinical clarity that reads as modern interface typography. Its rounded geometry adds approachability, but the squared structure keeps it firmly in a utilitarian, device-oriented mood—suggesting dashboards, labeling, and sci‑fi minimalism rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, systematized sans with a rounded-rectangular construction, balancing functional legibility with a distinctive geometric identity. By keeping stroke behavior uniform and corners consistently softened, it aims to feel contemporary and device-ready while remaining approachable.
Distinctive details include the rounded-shoulder construction on letters like n/m and the consistently softened corners on rectangular strokes, which keeps the texture even in dense text. The design favors simple, legible silhouettes over expressive flair, maintaining a steady cadence from caps through numerals.
