This sans serif is built from compact, rounded-rectangle forms with smooth superellipse curves and a largely monoline stroke. Corners are consistently softened, giving counters and bowls a squarish-yet-rounded geometry (notably in O, C, D, and e). Stems stay straight and vertical, terminals tend to be blunt or gently rounded, and the overall rhythm is tight and orderly. Lowercase shows simplified, open shapes with a tall x-height feel and minimal detailing; numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear construction for a cohesive texture in text.
It suits interface labels, dashboards, and wayfinding where a compact, rounded sans can remain clear and consistent. The distinctive superellipse construction also works well for branding, posters, and short headline settings where the geometric character becomes part of the visual identity.
The tone feels contemporary and utilitarian, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners and soft curves. Its geometric, slightly squared construction suggests a tech-forward or industrial sensibility, while staying approachable rather than stark.
The design appears intended to merge a clean, system-like sans structure with softened, rounded-rectangle geometry, creating a typeface that feels modern and technical while remaining personable and readable in everyday settings.
Several characters lean into a distinctive rounded-rect geometry that can read as subtly retro-digital, especially in the curves of S and the squarish bowls in e and g. The overall palette is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a uniform, “designed system” impression.
