A clean sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are even and steady, with broad curves that feel controlled rather than calligraphic. Round letters like O and Q read as superelliptical forms, while corners in letters such as E, F, L, and T are subtly eased instead of sharply cut. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and highly legible, with simple, open apertures and a two-storey-style “g” rendered in a single-storey form; punctuation and numerals follow the same rounded, geometric logic.
Works well for user interfaces, app and web typography, and product branding where clarity and a gentle, rounded personality are desirable. The steady stroke and open forms also suit labels, wayfinding, and data-heavy layouts that benefit from consistent, easily scanned letterforms.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable: precise enough for interfaces and informational design, but softened by the rounded geometry. It feels neutral and calm, avoiding strong historical cues in favor of a product-oriented, understated voice.
The design intention appears to be a highly legible, general-purpose sans built from rounded geometric primitives, aiming for a modern, friendly neutrality. The softened corners and superelliptical rounds suggest a focus on contemporary digital contexts while maintaining clean typographic discipline.
Capitals are relatively tall and stable with generous internal space, producing a clear rhythm in all-caps settings. Numerals are simple and screen-friendly in silhouette, with rounded joins and terminals that keep dense text from looking brittle. Spacing appears balanced, contributing to a smooth, even texture in paragraph-like sample text.
