A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with squared counters and generously radiused corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and sturdy, producing strong color and even texture in paragraphs. Proportions skew broad and stable, with short, flattened curves in C/G/S and boxy bowls in O/Q and the lowercase o/p. Terminals are consistently blunt and softened, and joins stay clean and mechanical, giving the design a crisp, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to headings, short statements, and brand marks where a bold, rounded-square voice is desired. It also works well for UI labeling, signage, and product/interface graphics that benefit from sturdy, high-impact letterforms and clear numeral shapes.
The rounded-square construction reads contemporary and tech-adjacent while remaining approachable. Its combination of dense weight and softened corners suggests a confident, friendly industrial tone—more “interface” than “editorial,” with a subtle retro-digital flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle, superellipse motif into a practical sans that feels engineered yet approachable. It prioritizes consistency of corner radius, solid stroke weight, and compact, boxy counters to create a distinctive, modern display texture.
The figures echo the same superelliptical logic, with notably squared, rounded forms that keep numerals highly recognizable at a glance. Overall spacing appears generous enough for display settings, while the dark stroke mass gives it a strong presence on light backgrounds.
