A geometric sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle corners, and bowls are built from softly squared forms rather than true circles. Strokes stay even and sturdy, with minimal modulation and crisp terminals. Counters tend to be compact and the overall letterforms feel slightly condensed in their internal space, giving a tight, engineered rhythm. Round letters like O/Q and numerals such as 0/8/9 show the family’s hallmark rounded-rectangle geometry, while verticals and horizontals read as firm and stable, with consistent corner radii across the set.
Well suited for UI labels, dashboards, and product interfaces where a crisp, contemporary voice is needed. It also works effectively for wayfinding, packaging, and tech-forward branding, and can produce strong results in headlines and short paragraphs thanks to its compact, structured texture.
The tone is modern and technical, evoking interface typography, instrumentation, and industrial labeling. Its squared curves and compact counters give it a pragmatic, engineered feel—more functional than friendly—while the softened corners prevent it from becoming harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, system-like sans with a distinctive squared-round geometry, balancing strict construction with softened corners for approachability. It aims for consistent, repeatable shapes that maintain a technical identity across letters and numerals.
Distinctive superelliptical shapes are especially apparent in the uppercase and numerals, producing a controlled, modular texture in text. The forms prioritize clarity and uniformity over calligraphic nuance, with a consistent, grid-like logic that reads well in short lines and signage-style settings.
