A geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel (notably in O, C, D, and 0). Terminals are mostly square-cut, joins are clean and crisp, and the overall width feels expanded with generous horizontal presence. Lowercase forms are simple and functional with single-storey a and g, open apertures, and short, sturdy arms; numerals are boxy and highly regular, with a squared 2 and a compact, segmented feel to 3 and 5.
Best suited to display sizes where its wide stance and squared-round geometry can establish a strong visual identity. It works well for branding systems, product marks, packaging, posters, and tech or industrial-themed communications, and can also serve as a confident UI or dashboard font when used with ample spacing.
The letterforms project a modern, engineered tone—precise, efficient, and slightly futuristic. The softened corners temper the technical rigidity, keeping the voice friendly enough for contemporary interface and product contexts while still reading as performance-oriented and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with softened corners for a contemporary, high-utility sans that feels engineered rather than neutral. Its consistent superelliptical curves and square terminals suggest an emphasis on systematized shapes that remain legible and distinctive across headlines and short passages.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius and curvature logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps it feel cohesive in mixed-case settings. The rhythm in text is steady and even, with clear separation between similar shapes due to the squared geometry and open interior spaces.
