A rounded geometric sans built from superellipse-like shapes, where curves often resolve into softly squared corners. Strokes are consistently even, with minimal contrast and smooth joins that keep edges clean. The capitals favor wide, open bowls and rounded-rectangle counters (notably in C, D, O, Q), while diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, and X stay crisp and straight against the softer curves elsewhere. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, giving 0, 8, and 9 a gently squared, contemporary silhouette.
Well-suited to interface typography, product branding, and wayfinding where a contemporary, friendly geometry helps readability and tone. It can also serve in short-to-medium text settings that benefit from a clean, low-contrast rhythm, while its distinctive rounded-rectangle forms make it effective for logos and display lines.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a technical, UI-minded clarity with a soft, friendly geometry. Its rounded corners and calm rhythm feel neutral and modern rather than expressive or ornate.
The font appears designed to translate superellipse geometry into a practical, everyday sans: recognizable, consistent, and optimized for a modern visual environment. It aims to deliver a clear, minimal texture while adding personality through softly squared curves rather than decorative detail.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius across many forms, creating a cohesive ‘soft-square’ motif. The lowercase includes single-storey shapes (such as a and g), reinforcing a simplified, geometric voice. Terminals are generally clean and unembellished, supporting a tidy, low-noise texture in paragraphs.
