A rounded, boxy sans built from superellipse-like curves and softly squared counters. Strokes stay even and monoline, with generous corner rounding and mostly closed apertures that give letters a compact, sturdy feel. Terminals are blunt and smooth, and many forms (like C, G, S, and 3) lean toward squared-off arcs rather than perfect circles. Spacing reads moderately tight in text, with a consistent rhythm and strong silhouette clarity at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to branding and headline settings where a friendly, geometric voice is desired. It can work effectively on packaging, posters, and signage, especially when the goal is a bold, approachable presence with a slightly playful edge. In longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where its compact apertures and boxy curves can breathe.
The overall tone is cheerful and approachable, with a subtle retro-tech flavor. Its softened geometry feels friendly and informal while still reading as structured and engineered, making it come across as confident without being severe.
The design appears intended to merge geometric construction with softened corners, creating a sturdy display sans that feels inviting rather than rigid. It aims for memorable shapes and a consistent superellipse logic across letters and numerals, supporting punchy communication with a distinctive, contemporary-retro character.
Distinctive squared-round construction shows consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a cohesive “rounded-rectangle” texture on the line. The figure set matches the letterforms’ blunt, softened geometry, helping numerals feel like part of the same visual system.
