A geometric sans with a soft-rectangular skeleton: many curves resolve into rounded-corner rectangles and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes are even and consistent, with clean, undecorated terminals and a steady horizontal/vertical emphasis. Counters tend to be squarish and open, giving letters like O, D, and P a compact, engineered feel, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay crisp and controlled. The overall rhythm is broad and calm, with generous interior space and neatly rounded joins that keep the texture smooth in text.
Works well for user interfaces, product UI typography, dashboards, and tech-forward brand systems where clarity and a modern tone are priorities. The rounded geometry also suits packaging, wayfinding, and short-to-medium text settings that benefit from a smooth, contemporary texture.
The rounded-rectangle geometry reads modern and tech-forward, combining a precise, engineered attitude with approachable softness. It feels suitable for interfaces and contemporary branding—clean and functional, but not cold—thanks to the consistently softened corners and even color.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for modern digital contexts, balancing engineered precision with softened corners for readability and approachability. Its distinctive capital forms add a subtle signature for branding while keeping an overall utilitarian, system-like consistency.
Several glyphs lean into distinctive, display-oriented constructions (notably the angular, rounded-shoulder M and the wavy, continuous-stroke W/w), which add character without breaking the system. Numerals follow the same squarish counter logic, producing a cohesive, UI-friendly set that stays visually consistent across letters and figures.
