A very thin, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and gently softened corners throughout. Curves are drawn as superellipse-like bowls rather than perfect circles, giving letters like C, O, and e a squarer, calm geometry. Terminals are mostly flat or lightly rounded, with consistent stroke weight and ample internal space; counters stay open and uncluttered even in tight forms. Proportions are restrained and orderly, with tall capitals, a straightforward lowercase, and clearly differentiated numerals.
Best suited to interface labels, navigation, and clean editorial headlines where a minimal, lightweight voice is desired. It also works for branding and packaging that benefits from a modern, softly geometric impression, and for large-format captions or signage where the thin strokes won’t be lost.
The overall tone is quiet and precise, conveying a contemporary, engineered feel without looking cold. Its rounded corners and even rhythm add approachability, while the extreme lightness keeps the page feeling airy and refined.
The font appears designed to offer a contemporary geometric sans built from superelliptic forms, emphasizing smooth corners, consistency, and a refined light touch. The intention seems focused on a sleek, system-like aesthetic that remains friendly through rounded geometry rather than sharp edges.
The design relies on careful spacing and smooth curvature transitions to stay legible at display sizes; the light strokes can appear delicate where horizontals thin out visually. Letterforms show a consistent rounded-rect logic across both uppercase and lowercase, supporting a cohesive texture in continuous text.
