A geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle construction: curves resolve into softened corners and squarish bowls, giving letters a superelliptical, “squircle” feel. Strokes maintain an even thickness with clean joins and largely flat, crisp terminals. Proportions are tidy and compact, with wide internal counters in forms like O/Q and a single-storey a and g that echo the same rounded-square logic. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and straight, contrasting with the softened curves, while figures follow the same rounded-corner geometry for a consistent set.
Well-suited to interface typography, product and technology branding, and clear labeling where a modern geometric voice is desired. It also works in short headlines and navigational or wayfinding contexts thanks to its crisp structure and consistent, rounded-rectangular forms.
The overall tone is contemporary and precise, projecting a tech-forward, product-oriented personality. Rounded corners soften the rigor, keeping it approachable while still feeling engineered and systematic.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive sans-serif system, balancing strict construction with softened corners. The goal seems to be a clean, contemporary typeface that feels engineered, legible, and visually distinctive through its squarish curves.
Round glyphs read more like rounded rectangles than true ovals, creating a distinctive rhythm across the alphabet. The uppercase has a disciplined, signage-like presence, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open forms and generous counters.
