A geometric sans with superelliptical construction: straight stems and crossbars are softened by rounded corners, and bowls read like rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. Strokes are monoline and even, with tidy terminals and minimal modulation. Proportions are balanced and slightly compact in the curves, while counters stay open enough for clarity; the lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected and a straightforward, unembellished rhythm. Numerals are simple and legible, mixing angular joins with the same softened corner treatment for a consistent texture.
Works well for UI text, dashboards, and product typography where clarity and a contemporary tone are priorities. The softened geometry also makes it suitable for wayfinding, packaging, and brand systems that want a modern but approachable voice. In editorial settings it can serve as a clean sans for short-to-medium reading, especially where a neat, consistent texture is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a precise, engineered feel with softened edges that keep it from looking cold. It suggests pragmatic digital design—clear, neutral, and slightly friendly—well suited to interfaces and systems that want to feel modern without being aggressive.
Likely designed to blend the discipline of geometric construction with rounded, superelliptical forms to improve friendliness and readability in practical contexts. The goal appears to be a versatile, system-ready sans that maintains a distinct soft-square personality while staying neutral in continuous text.
Rounded rectangles are especially evident in the round letters and in the way joins and terminals resolve, giving the type a distinctive “soft-square” silhouette at both display and text sizes. The spacing and regularity create an even gray value in paragraphs, while the curved letters add a gentle cadence that prevents the line from feeling overly rigid.
