A geometric sans with squarish, superellipse-inspired curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and generally squared-off structure softened by generous radii. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and round letters like O and Q read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and plain, sturdy joins that keep texture dense but controlled.
Well suited to interface typography, product and tech branding, and short-form display settings where a sturdy, contemporary sans is needed. It should also perform in wayfinding and packaging where rounded geometry helps maintain clarity while adding a friendly edge.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, pairing a tech-forward geometry with soft, non-aggressive rounding. It feels confident and practical, with a friendly retail/app UI vibe rather than a formal editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, highly legible sans built from rounded-rectilinear forms, balancing firmness with approachability. Its consistent corner rounding and even color suggest a focus on scalable, system-like typography for contemporary visual identities.
The cap set leans wide and stable with broad horizontals, while numerals are similarly blocky and rounded, maintaining a unified, industrial rhythm. Spacing appears generous enough for display use, and the rounded-square construction gives text a distinctive, compact pattern when set in sentences.
