This typeface is a geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like curves, producing squarish counters with softly radiused corners. Strokes maintain an even thickness with smooth, consistent joins, and the overall construction favors simple, engineered forms over calligraphic modulation. Bowls and rounds (e.g., O, C, D, 0) read as rounded squares, while straights and diagonals are crisp and clean, giving the alphabet a tidy, systematic rhythm. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and open, with single-storey a and g, a compact earless feel, and clear, uncluttered terminals; numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with an especially boxy 0 and balanced 8.
It suits interface typography, product and technology branding, and clear informational design where a clean, modern voice is needed. The distinctive squarish rounding also makes it effective for headlines, labels, and signage where the geometric personality can be seen at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and composed, with a distinctly contemporary, tech-leaning flavor. Rounded corners soften the geometry, keeping it approachable while still feeling precise and engineered.
The likely intent is to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with a recognizable superellipse signature—combining engineered clarity with softened corners for an approachable, screen-friendly presence.
The design’s characteristic squircle geometry becomes most apparent in the rounded capitals and numerals, creating a consistent ‘soft-square’ personality across the set. Spacing and proportions support a stable, legible texture in running text while preserving a slightly stylized, display-friendly silhouette in large sizes.
