A geometric sans with superelliptic construction: round characters read as rounded rectangles, while straight strokes terminate with softly squared corners rather than sharp points. Stroke weight is even and consistent, with open apertures and compact, rounded counters that keep forms tight and controlled. Proportions feel slightly wide and stable in capitals, while the lowercase maintains a tidy rhythm with simple, unadorned joins and minimal contrast. Numerals and punctuation follow the same squared-round logic, producing a cohesive, systematic texture in text.
Well suited to interface typography, product branding, and digital systems where a clean, geometric voice and consistent rhythm are important. It can also work for signage and short-to-medium reading in layouts that benefit from a sturdy, modern sans with a slightly softened edge.
The overall tone is contemporary and pragmatic, balancing friendliness from the rounded geometry with a disciplined, engineered feel. It comes across as confident and straightforward rather than expressive, suggesting clarity and utility with a subtle “tech” polish.
Likely designed to deliver a systematic, contemporary sans that feels engineered but approachable. The rounded-rectangle geometry suggests an intention to harmonize with modern UI aesthetics and grid-based layouts while maintaining clear letterforms.
The superellipse motif is especially evident in curves like C, O, G, and the bowls of b/d/p/q, giving the typeface a distinctive rounded-rectangular silhouette. Corners are consistently softened, which reduces harshness at display sizes while retaining crisp structure in headings and UI-style settings.
