A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are even and sturdy, with generous rounding at terminals and joints that keeps the texture smooth despite the heavy presence. Curves tend to flatten into squarish bowls (notably in C, D, O, and lowercase o), while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) remain crisp and straight. The x-height is notably high, and many lowercase forms (a, e, g, q) use simplified, single-story structures with compact apertures and counters, giving the design a dense, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, with stacked shapes in 8 and a broad, low-contrast structure across the set.
Well-suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, product branding, logos, posters, and interface labels where a strong, modern geometric impression is desired. It also works for large-size signage or packaging where the rounded-square forms and high x-height maintain clarity and a consistent visual rhythm.
The overall tone reads modern and technical, with a slightly retro-digital flavor driven by squarish rounds and softened corners. It feels confident and utilitarian rather than playful, projecting a sleek, machine-made clarity. The large x-height and solid strokes add an assertive, display-forward voice.
The letterforms appear designed to merge friendly rounding with a precise, engineered geometry—delivering a contemporary, tech-leaning voice that stays clean and systematic. The simplified lowercase and squared rounds suggest an emphasis on visual consistency and punchy presence in display and brand contexts.
The design leans toward closed forms and small apertures (especially in e and s), which creates a dark, uniform text color and a compact internal whitespace. The rounded corners prevent the shapes from feeling harsh, while the squared bowls keep the look distinctly geometric and contemporary.
