A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with uniform stroke weight and a noticeably broad stance. Corners are consistently softened, while terminals stay blunt and squared-off, producing a clean, machined silhouette. Counters tend toward rectangular shapes with generous apertures, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and 0) resolve into squarish rounds rather than true circles. Proportions feel steady and engineered, with crisp diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y and a generally even, low-contrast rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its broad proportions and squared-rounded forms can project clearly—headlines, posters, branding systems, logotypes, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style text where strong shapes and consistent strokes aid quick recognition.
The overall tone reads modern and utilitarian, with a purposeful, high-impact voice. Its squared-rounded geometry suggests a tech and equipment aesthetic—confident, streamlined, and slightly futuristic—while remaining approachable due to the softened corners.
Likely designed to deliver a robust, contemporary sans with a distinctive superelliptical skeleton—balancing strict geometry with softened corners for a friendly, high-tech look that remains highly legible at larger sizes.
Uppercase shapes appear particularly strong and signage-friendly, while the lowercase maintains the same modular logic for a cohesive system. Numerals follow the same squarish rounding and heavy presence, lending themselves to data-forward or interface contexts.
