A sturdy sans with compact proportions, broad curves, and gently squared (superellipse-like) round forms. Corners are softened rather than sharp, and terminals read as clean, slightly rounded cuts that keep the silhouettes solid and consistent. The lowercase is straightforward and compact with a single-storey “a” and “g,” a simple “t,” and a small, neat dot on “i/j,” producing an even, blocky texture in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly robust and open, with simple construction and minimal ornamentation.
Well suited to interface labels, product branding, and wayfinding where a strong, compact sans is needed. It also performs well for headlines and short blocks of copy that benefit from a dense, high-impact texture without looking overly aggressive.
The overall tone is modern and direct, balancing a friendly softness from rounded corners with a confident, no-nonsense weight. It feels practical and contemporary—more tool-like than expressive—while still approachable in headline settings.
The design appears intended as a modern workhorse sans that emphasizes solidity, clarity, and a softened geometric voice. Its rounded-rectangle curves and compact forms aim to stay friendly and contemporary while remaining highly assertive in display applications.
The rhythm is tight and efficient, with wide, stable curves in letters like C/O/S and sturdy verticals throughout, helping the font hold up well at larger sizes. The superellipse influence is most apparent in rounded counters and curved joins, which feel slightly squared-off rather than purely circular.
