This typeface uses a squared-rounded, superelliptical construction with broad proportions and evenly weighted strokes. Curves resolve into rounded corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and rounds a soft-rectangular silhouette. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled cuts (notably in diagonals), producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and rectangular-leaning, and spacing feels sturdy and deliberate, keeping large text blocks visually uniform and tightly gridded.
It performs best as a display sans for headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short UI/wayfinding strings where its wide, squared-rounded geometry can be a visual feature. The sturdy shapes and compact counters help it hold together in bold, high-impact applications such as posters and signage.
The overall tone is contemporary and technical, with a controlled, machine-made feel softened by generous corner rounding. It reads as confident and modern—suited to interfaces and technology contexts—without becoming cold, thanks to the friendly rounded geometry.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, geometric voice built from rounded-rectangular forms, combining an engineered aesthetic with approachable softness. Its consistent stroke weight and modular contours aim for strong presence and a clean, system-like coherence across letters and numerals.
Distinctive superellipse shapes show strongly in the O/Q/0 family and in rounded lowercase forms, creating consistent ‘rounded-rectangle’ echoes across the set. Uppercase structure stays disciplined and boxy, while lowercase maintains simple, functional forms that prioritize clarity at display sizes.
